Lot 9
Third cut sheet of $1 1899 SCs E9A, E10A, E11A, E12A. This lot will provide the new owner with a real trophy: $1 1899 SC Fr. 234 with the third lowest serial number cut sheet: E9A PCGS 63 Choice New, E10A PCGS 64 Very Choice New, E11A PCGS 65 PPQ Gem New, and E12A PCGS 64 PPQ Very Choice New. Estimated Value $8,000 - 16,000
PCGS notes that the serial number on the E9A: "BEP Corrected Misapplication of Serial Number Prefix". We assume this means that the E9A was mistakenly printed with a different prefix letter; the error was caught and the BEP corrected this mistake before releasing the note. This in our opinion neither ads nor subtracts from the value of this cut sheet, but certainly makes it unique.
According to the Gengerke census of Large Size U.S. Type Motes, this is the lowest known intact four piece cut sheet and was last sold by Currency Auctions of America 5/2/1997: Lot 1825 @ $550. The set was subsequently broken up and then reconstructed over the past three decades.
