Robert Azpiazu, Jr. long time collector, small size banknote expert/author, and owner of First City Currency, constructed this set throughout the 1970s into the early 1990s and sold it to Mike Abramson in the late 1990s. There are three known complete sets of $10 FRNs with serial numbers 11111111 - 99999999 with a fourth possible. The limiting factor of constructing the complete set is evidence of only five known serial #99999999 $10 FRNs, that were issued for general circulation.
