Lot 38
F99999999A/F00000001B Rollover Set. Arguably amongst one of the three rarest lots in this sale. Through exhaustive research including the archives of Track and Price, Billy Baeder's census and Mike Abramson's 55 years of study, not a single $5 FRN from 1928 to 2017 has ever surfaced….other than this note in this lot! The $5 1962-F $5 1950A FRN s/n F99999999A is graded PCGS 65PPQ Gem New AND miraculously the included rollover serial #F00000001B graded PCGS 62PPQ is included!! Estimated Value $25,000 - 50,000
Beyond rare is a term used too often, but in the case of this pair of notes it truly is justified. Tens of billions of small head $5 FRNs were printed between the 1928 and 1995 series and yet only one serial #9999999 is known to have survived. Adding to it's allure is the first note of the following block. It just doesn't get better than this in the world of paper money. Remember you are bidding on TWO banknotes in this lot.
