Lot 2728
Fr. 2173-A, 1990, $100.00
Federal Reserve Note, Misplaced Security Thread. The quality control of the
paper mills by Crane insure that any paper problems are very rare. The security
thread on the note has been misplaced on the right side, which is the fault of
the B.E.P. and not Crane. A very scarce error. Extremely Fine.
Estimated Value $400-600.
Lot 2729
Fr. 2126-E, 1996, $50.00
Federal Reserve Note, Security Thread on Outside. The security thread,
which is placed in the middle as the paper is being made, somehow was placed on
the top of the paper. The paper fibers are adhering to the security thread, but
one could easy remove the security thread if he wanted. After many examinations
over a two day period, the note is without a doubt authentic. While looking
into books and making a number of phone calls, a few experts had heard about
this type of error, but none had seen and thus thought to be unique.
Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
