Description

Fr. 1655. 1953 $5 Silver Certificates. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. Mismatched Serial Number Error.
The near-Gem 1953 $5 displays a massive margin at left, almost wide enough to drive a Mack truck on. But the coolness lies within the serial number error, the left being A70586214A and the right A70586100A. Usually just a single or double number are wrong on these types of errors, but rarely three. This error is the result of a mechanical error of the number wheel becoming stuck during the printing process, according to the book United States Paper Money Errors by Dr. Frederick J. Bart.
From the Mismacthed Serial Number Collection.
Estimate: $3000.00- $5000.00
