21891 Red Seal $1.000 Banknote – $2.5 million
Last year, in April, the 1891 Red Seal banknote was sold in Schaumburg for a whopping $2.5 million.
And it held the record for the most expensive US banknote sold at an auction. Until today, when it was beat by the 1890 Grand Watermelon bill.
As you can see in the photo, the banknote features a portrait of the US General who served in the civil war and became Commanding Officer of the Army of the Potomac, George Meade.
Collectors, are you ready for #1?
