High Denomination $500 – $1,000 – $5,000 – $10,000 Notes

The United States issued green seal federal reserve notes for four different high denominations. These notes feature William McKinley ($500), Grover Cleveland ($1,000), James Madison ($5,000), and Salmon Chase ($10,000) as their portraits. Surprisingly, many $500 and $1,000 notes still exist. It is thought that there are over 150,000 $1,000 bills left unredeemed, and over 250,000 $500 bills are available to collectors. However, it is thought that there are less than 700 ultra-high denomination ($5K & $10K) notes left.

$5,000 and $10,000 notes are extremely valuable and if you have one we encourage you to contact us. Even $500 and $1,000 can have high values depending on their serial number and which district issued them.

The prices below are just a guideline of average offer prices. If your high denomination note has a star symbol in the serial number or is in beyond perfect condition, the prices will be higher. Contact us and we can get you a more exact offer. We are not trying to be difficult by asking you to contact us for a lot of values. However, the condition and serial number are so important that we can’t quote prices without first seeing the note. All the links on the this page will take you to our sister site about old currency.
