Description
$20/$10 Double Denomination Federal Reserve Note
Ex-Grinnell
Fr. 964 $20/$10 Double Denomination Error 1914 Federal Reserve
Note PMG About Uncirculated 50.A wonderful example of the "King of Errors" and a note with a most impressive pedigree, which can be traced back to its appearance in the Grinnell sale of June 1946, where it sold as part of a cut sheet for the then astronomical price of $3,550. The cut sheet then appeared in the Herman Halpern sale in 1993, after which the four notes were divided. While all four notes have appeared at auction since the Halpern sale, none have crossed the auction block since 2004, including this example which we sold in our May 2001 auction for $30,250. All four notes from the sheet were graded as "Superb Crisp Uncirculated" when they sold back in 1946 and all, including this offering, appear Choice New at a glance. There is, however, just enough evidence of the faintest of folds (which are present on all four notes) to compel an AU grade for this note. Whatever the technical grade, this is a note that will become the centerpiece of any serious collection of Double Denominations.
