Description
Rare Cleveland Battleship Star
Fr. 757* $2 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ."This rare and beautiful Star example was formerly part of the Richard Merlau Star note collection, which we sold in January of 2006. It is one of only four recorded Fr. 757 Star examples, and one of just six $2 Star notes in the census for all three Cleveland district $2 Friedberg numbers combined. Track & Price shows only two offerings of any Cleveland district Battleship Stars during the past twenty years, one coming in 1992 and the other the only prior appearance of this note back in 2006. Graded raw as About Uncirculated, it then realized $9,600. Now encapsulated in a PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ holder, and with a renewed appreciation for large size Star rarities, it is hard to imagine this fresh and appealing piece fetching any less than a five figure price this evening." That was the description we used when we last sold this note in April of 2010. It remains essentially accurate, save for the fact that the census has now risen from four to five. A gorgeous, rare and highly desirable Battleship Star.
