Lot 460		Gem New $2 1976 B-A and H-A Mismatched Prefix Error.

Estimated Value $500 - 1,000 Three years ago when this specific type of error appeared at auction, one would expect the hammer to fall around $300 to $350. It is interested to note that Heritage sold one in Auction 3577, lot #23705 on 4-27-2020 for $1050, in a PMG 66EPQ holderâ€�.just like the one offered here today in The Black Horse Collection.

Lot 461		Extremely Fine $5 1977A with last four digits mismatched. This is the first of two wonderful four digit mismatched $5 1977A FRNs, both of which should realize close to $1000/note in today's auction. This is serial #H67346125A and H67345764A graded PCGS 45 EPQ Choice Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $800 - 1,500 This dandy note has three light folds and has never had an attempt to improve it from its original condition.

This is serial #H67346122A and H67344366A graded PCGS 40 Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $700 - 1,300 Although PCGS has graded this note slightly lower than the preceding note, it appears a grade or two higher than the one assigned to it. Rather impressive that the two serial numbers on this and the previous note don't really correlate with one another. We note that HA sold an almost identical four digit mismatch in PMG 40EPQ: Auction 3576 \| Lot: 24535 \| Jan 14, 2020, Sold For: $750.00. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $510

What a striking piece of paper money! Estimated Value $400 - 700 Friends and family members will be quite surprised when they flip this over and see the blank back on it. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $264
Lot 464		$1 1999 FRN STAR with district seal missing. We suggest the new owner could send this note off to a professional restorer to have the staining removed.

Lot 465		$1 FRN with missing seal including bookend. Gem Unc graded $1 1999 FRN Serial #A13136851B PMG 65 EPQ Gem Unc. The green seal is missing from this error note and someone had the foresight to keep the following note referred to as a "bookend", which is included and graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated. Estimated Value $400 - 600 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $240
Lot 466		$1 Choice Unc Missing Print Error. This $1 1988 FRN with no known serial number has been graded PMG 64 EPQ Choice Uncirculated and is a fresh as the day it escaped from the Bureau of Engraving & Printing. There is no green seal or serial number on either the front or the back of this pristine note. Estimated Value $500 - 800 Collectors may wonder why some errors that appear identical to another of the same variety are graded 64 rather than 65 or 66. Both PCGS and PMG have taken the posture that the centering on the face of the note influences the final grade of the error. This note has imperfect face margins, but we would argue that face margins are not a drawback on an error note at all. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $312
Lot 467		Treasury Seal and Serial Numbers Missing. $1 1999 Federal Reserve Note with no known serial number, graded PMG 55 About Uncirculated and $20 1988A FRN with exact same error. Estimated Value $800 - 1,600 This is the perfect match to the previous lot and worth a premium bid to obtain this note to create a striking duo. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $504
Lot 468		Great Match to the previous note. Unlike the previous lot that contains another $1 1988 error note, and look identical face up, it isn't. The $1 1988 FRN serial #F16435547C illustrates the missing green seal and serial number on the portrait side, but it does appear on the back. Put this and previous note side by side and you've got a great illustration of two wonderful mistakes. Estimated Value $500 - 800 If you won the previous lot we strongly suggest you buy this note as well. This is the perfect example of two error notes that look identical on the portrait side but when flipped over, look entirely different. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $336
Lot 469		$5 1977 FRN complete blank back. Terrific $5 1977 Federal Reserve Note serial number D56472473A graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated with the First Print Missing. Estimated Value $600 - 900 This error is also known as a blank back and is highly sought after by error note collectors. Locating an error of this type in any grade above 64 is a tough order. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $408
Lot 470		$5 1985 with seals & serial numbers on reverse. $5 1985 FRN Serial #F73904630A graded PMG 58 EPQ Choice About Uncirculated features the complete third overprint on the back. Estimated Value $500 - 800 We struggle to see the reason why this note isn't residing in a 64 or 65 holder. It appears just about flawless in its holder. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $312
Lot 471		$5 1988A FRN with entire green overprint missing on back. This is a beautiful $5 1988A Federal Reserve Note that originally came with it's pack-mates, all of which had some form of missing overprint error. This beauty has been graded PMG 64 EPQ, Choice Uncirculated. Estimated Value $300 - 600 This cataloger had the privilege of buying the entire group of 100 of these error notes from a bank vault employee back in the 1990s. The majority of this pack had some of the serial number printed on this error. This specific piece is superior to almost every other note in that pack in that the entire green overprint is missing from the portrait side of this gorgeous note. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $324
Lot 472		G District $5 with 3rd Overprint Missing. Here is an exception piece that you don't want to miss. This $5 1988A has punch through embossing of the G district seal, but the complete 3rd Overprint is completely missing from both sides. PMG has graded this impressive error note 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated. Serial Number Unknown. Estimated Value $500 - 900 If you wanted just one example of a $5 3rd overprint error note for your collection, you'll search quite awhile to find an equal to this dandy piece. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $384
Lot 473		$5 1995 FRN Missing Print Error. $5 1995 Federal Reserve Note Serial #F11970644B graded PMG 66 EPQ Exceptional Paper Quality Gem Uncirculated. This note features missing First Printing of the "back" of the note. It is more commonly referred to as a "blank back" noteâ€�.and it is a real beauty! Estimated Value $600 - 900 As most error note collectors know, the "conventional back side" of the note is printed first. Hence on the holder of this note, PMG states that The First Print is missing, as "backs" are printed before "fronts" by The Bureau of Engraving and Printing. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $504
Lot 474		Bold Gem Unc $10 Overprint on Reverse. $10 1977A Federal Reserve Note Serial #L81076918A Overprint on Back Error Note. PMG has grade this note as 65 EPQ. Our guess is that the grade isn't higher because the face centering isn't dead perfect, but the color on this note is amazing. Estimated Value $700 - 1,000 This banknote is quite special. The green and black inks from the 3rd Overprint as the boldest of any of the errors in this sale. They just jump off the note!! Truly an exception error in a condition that will be very difficult to locate again. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $432
Lot 475		Gem Unc++ $10 3rd Overprint on Back. This note, the previous one and the next came from a small run of errors that came together for today's sale. This serial #L81076937A from the $10 1977A series has been graded PMG 66 EPQ and is as bright and bold in color as it's two partners in this sale. Estimated Value $750 - 1,100 We can't stress enough how special the image of the reverse of this, the previous, and the next $10 errors are. Many of the errors of this type feature much weaker print quality than these three notes. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $456
Lot 476		Bold Gem Unc $10 Overprint on Reverse. $10 1977A Federal Reserve Note Serial #L81076937A Overprint on Back Error Note. PMG has grade this note as 65 EPQ Gem Uncirculated.

Lot 477		Very Choice AU $10 Missing Overprint Error. $10 1990-L FRN with missing overprint graded PMG 58EPQ Choice About Uncirculated. While we struggle to find a reason why this dandy note isn't sitting in a higher graded holder, it is possible there is a faint center bend. Estimated Value $500 - 800 Small head $10 errors are freely floating around looking for homes. We strongly suggest you "scarf" up this beautiful note at today's price level as "they aren't making small head tens anymore". View details and enlarged photos	Realized $300

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $360
Lot 481		$20 FRN with 3rd Overprint on Back Error. PMG has graded with note 63 Choice Uncirculated and has noted closed pinholes that you will struggle to see. The Serial number of this 1981 $20 Federal Reserve Note is L78590708A. Estimated Value $400 - 700 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $276
Lot 482		1988A $20 3rd Overprint on Reverse. This is a $20 1988A FRN Serial #J32342615B graded PMG 53 About Uncirculated with the seals and serial numbers printed on the reverse. Estimated Value $350 - 700 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $264

Lot 485		Small Head $50 w/inverted 3rd Overprint on Back. $50 1993 Federal Reserve Note Serial #B10312710C graded PMG 65 EPQ Gem Uncirculated. This is a multiple error note that shows up once in a blue moon. Estimated Value $3,000 - 5,000 Truly this is a remarkable note from many aspects. Not only is it a $50 denomination note, but it is a Type II error with part of the next note showing on the face. In addition the third overprint is imprinted onto the back UPSIDE DOWN. This is one of those notes that you can seek out for years and regardless of what you're willing to pay for it, you simply can't find another. This R-8 is worth whatever you have to pay for it. Our estimate range is likely too low. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,000
Lot 486		$50 1977 FRN with third overprint on reverse. $50 1977 FRN Serial #D22289560A graded PCGS 63 PPQ. The striking face of this note features no seal or seal number. Instead it appears on the back of this note. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,800 We are of the opinion that the new edition of the Bart "United States Paper Money Errors" guidebook will show in an increase in value for most all $50 error types. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $690
Lot 487		$100 FRN with 3rd Overprint on Back. $100 1999 FRN Serial #AB05488773K graded PCGS 58 Choice About New. This great error note has a small ink mark on the face that we believe could be easily removed by a professional restorer at a minimal fee. The seal and serial numbers on this error appear on the back. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $720
Lot 488		Trio of $100 Choice CU missing Green Overprint. Four $5 FRN Small Head Offset Printing Errors worth salting away: 1988A J04124250B PMG 30 VF with 90% of back lightly printed onto front, $5 1974 E36535819D PMG 58 EPQ with 100% of front nicely printed onto back, $5 1977A L72157790B PMG 64EPQ with 8% of f. Estimated Value $1,000 - 2,000 One might think that with the quantity of $100 denominations printed, that errors should show up much more often than they do. The reason for this is that perhaps 80 to 85% of the total output of $100 notes gets shipped overseas to central foreign banks. There is an almost unquenchable thirst for "greenbacks" in many foreign countries and so, the vast majority of them get shipped to other territories. Errors found in those countries almost never get back into U.S. auctions, but rather trade hands in their own countries. This trio should be worth $1500 but we will start bidding at a very low level to encourage collectors to snag a bargain. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $600
Lot 489		Four $100 High Grade missing Green Seals. $100 1999 BB28245216A PMG 55EPQ About Unc., $100 1999 BE29832538A PMG 40 XF, $100 1999 BJ04977255A PMG 64EPQ Choice Unc., and $100 1999 BJ05477284A PCGS 65 PPQ Gem New. Estimated Value $1,000 - 2,000 Fascinating that the BEP managed to make the same mistake of leaving off the green Treasury Seal on three different districts. This lot contains four Error Note mistakes from the B, E. and J districts. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $810
Lot 490		Four $100 Choice About Unc. missing Green Seals. All four of these beauties are series 1999 $100 Federal Reserve Notes all are graded 58Q: BJ03877274A, BJ04077266A, BJ04077235A and BJ04077282A. Estimated Value $1,000 - 2,000 All four of these notes have all of the characteristic of Choice to Gem Uncirculated banknotes. One has been graded by PCGS and three have been graded by PMG, with all four notes in 58Q holders. At an opening bid of $500 you'd be buying these four notes at far less than they are worth. Let's see what bidders feel this lot is worth. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $780
