1922 $500 Gold Certificate Ingot

If you have a vested interest in the monetary history of the United States, our 1922 $500 Gold Certificate Ingot is an essential item for your collection. Issued by the U.S. Treasury from 1865 to 1928, gold certificates were a banknote that could be exchanged for an equivalent amount of gold. With a fixed gold price at the time of $20.67 per ounce, this piece of paper currency was equal to almost a pound of weight in solid gold.

The History of the 1922 $500 Lincoln Coin Gold Certificate Of all the gold certificates produced by the United States, the $500 Gold Certificate was the most popular denomination for all of these valuable pieces of paper, mostly because it featured our nation's greatest President: Abraham Lincoln. It was also the last large-size gold certificate produced in this denomination. Each of these notes bears the signature of Speelman and White, and all are prized by collectors for their appeal, historical significance, and rarity.

In 1933, private ownership of gold and gold certificates was outlawed. Most "Lincoln $500 Gold Certificates" were confiscated and destroyed, and ownership remained banned for over 30 years until 1964. Today, less than fifty 1922 $500 Gold Certificates are known to exist, and they maintain extraordinary value. A 1922 $500 Gold Certificate with signs of heavy circulation can still command thousands at a sale, and a pristine example recently sold at auction for more than $50,000.
