THE UNIQUE EXAMPLE OF THE $5,000.00 "SERIES 1944" STOCK TRANSFER ISSUE, USED ON ITS ORIGINAL DOCUMENT. A REMARKABLE ARTIFACT AND REGARDED AS THE MOST IMPORTANT STOCK TRANSFER ISSUE IN EXISTENCE. The $5,000.00 denomination of the "Series 1944" overprint was not known to exist until this document was discovered. Its existence was logically assumed, because the $5.000.00 value was issued as part of the other years' series. Whatever the reason for its rarity, proof of the $5,000.00 "Series 1944" did not surface until a few years ago, when a descendant of one of those involved in the transaction brought this document and others to a stamp show, where it was recognized by noted dealer Richard Friedberg, who brokered the sale to "Scarsdale". Ex "Scarsdale". With 2010 P.F. certificate. (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com	$ 75,000.00 SOLD for $40,000.00 Will close during Public Auction
