Double Error
Identical serial
numbers plus mismatched serial numbers. We sold a set of
similar consecutive errors in a previous sale where the left
serial number on the first note matched the right serial on the
middle note, the left serial number on the middle note matched
the right serial number on the bottom note and each note
had a mismatched serial number; that lot sold for $14,950. This
group has a similar error: the left serial number on each note
is the same (with the last two digits rotated downward and
stuck) but the right serial number is a mismatch. In addition,
the right serial numbers are consecutive on all three notes!
New discoveries among mismatched serial numbers are
enthusiastically received and generally realize strong bids
when offered. Three piece lot.

often, they are almost always in low grade and with minor
problems. This beautiful note has earned the coveted EPQ
designation and has some light evidence of circulation barely
visible through the holder. The Green Sheet only lists a value
up to VF at $650. This absolute prize will bring multiples of
that figure.

Fold counters very
well may consider this note to be XF or just about so. Either
way, it is a much scarcer denomination from this issue and
worthy of a strong bid or two.

wonderful print quality.

colorful and perfectly centered. Gems routinely sell for many
hundreds of dollars and then some.

A phenomenal example of this scarcer piece of MPC that has
a Green Sheet asking price of $535 in Gem 65. This note is
nearly superb and it appears to be essentially flawless.

AU is a far more common grade for this issue and
denomination than is near Gem. Either way, it should blow
past its wholesale price of $200 in Gem 65.

An essentially
perfect example of this gorgeous later issue MPC. Tied with
