Description
Exceptional Serial Number 2 1934 $5 Federal Reserve Note
Ex. Grinnell
Fr. 1955-H. 1934 Light Green Seal $5 Federal Reserve Note. St. Louis. PCGS Banknote Choice Uncirculated 64 PPQ. Serial Number 2.
Hailing from the first sheet produced for the St. Louis district, this individual note is the lowest recorded serial number for this Friedberg among presumably a large population of undistinguished survivors. Tracing a provenance back to the 1940s, the first public appearance of this note was part of the holdings of the esteemed Albert A. Grinnell and disbursed and cataloged by Barney Bluestone where it sold for the sum of $18. We all wish we could have present at those auctions, but to put it simply this note is going to bring more than $18. From small size specialists to collectors who concern themselves with fancy serial numbers first and foremost to those who simply crave the exceptional, expect a pitched battle to claim this exceptional offering that has been only offered once between now and when it first traded publicly almost 80 years ago. Indeed a treasure to be won and a treasure that may not make its presence known for decades once this opportunity passes into history. Noted for "Premium Paper Quality" by PCGS Banknote.
Estimate: $5000.00- $7000.00
