Description
Extremely Rare Series 641 MPC Specimen Set
Series 641 5c, 10c, 25c, 50c, $1, $5 and $10 Complete Specimen Set New. In Fred Schwan's excellent new Fourth Edition Military Payment Certificate Book, the researcher states, "Specimens of United States military payment certificates are enigmas to the hobby. A few pieces and sets are known in collections and a few references have been made to them in catalogs and in articles, but very little definitive information has been published." Further down, Fred goes on to say that at least two sets of Fr. 641 Specimens are in private hands, and only one set is known in private hands for series 472, 541, 591, 661 and 692. This 641 set we offer here is made-up of seven fully uncirculated, well centered, beautifully bright notes that all bear the same serial number of J 00000000 J. The notes have previously been mounted, and each shows five or so areas of light brown glue (likely easily removable) on their backs. The appearance at auction of this extremely rare set should arouse considerable interest in the MPC community.Auction Info
