Lot 76
Very Choice early $5 #D88888888A. This note was contained inside the James W. "Billy" Key collection auctioned by Lyn Knight ten years ago. At the time little research had been done in determining how rare this note actually is. This is the very first solid serial #88888888 we can document being auctioned from all $5 FRN series going back to 1928 to 1950. This Fr. 1962-D $5 1950A FRN #D88888888A is graded PCGS 64PPQ Very Choice New. Estimated Value $4,000 - 7,000
Virtually no one collected fancy serial numbered Federal Reserve Notes back in the 1950s. The fact that this note escaped in pristine condition is a near miracle. Finding early rarities like this is an amazing accomplishment.
Ex. James W. "Billy" Key Collection sold in two auctions 3-2012 and 6-2012.
