Description
Fr. 810 $10 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note Superb Gem New. This serial number 4 Ten Dollar Federal Reserve Bank Note has resided in the Midwest Collection for the last four decades. It is the final note from the first sheet issued. Serial numbers 1, 2 and 3 have been known for years, but the whereabouts, and even survival, of this serial number 4 note have always been a matter of some speculation. It's fully the equal of its sheet-mate, the number 3 example, which we sold in January of 2001 with a $7500 estimate. At that sale, the #3 example realized $9350. We described that note as having ". . . everything going for it: broad, even margins, fully bright colors and incredible eye appeal as well as a low single-digit serial number. The original embossing is deep and obvious throughout the entire design, not just on the seal and serial numbers." That description applies exactly to this beautifully centered, currently offered B4A example. We would expect it to reach or exceed the level realized by the B3A note.Auction Info
