Stack’s Bowers Galleries March
United States currency auction will feature an incredible solid serial
number 9 to serial number 1 block rollover pack pairing. The two
packs of Fr.1908-E Series of 1974 $1 Federal Reserve Notes are the first we
have ever encountered to display a block rollover pair.
The first pack of notes ends with a note displaying serial
number E99999999A while the first note of the next pack features serial number
E00000001B. The solid serial number note has been certified by PCGS Banknote
with a grade of Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 PPQ; its serial number 1 counterpart has been
graded Choice Uncirculated 63 PPQ also by PCGS Banknote. The remaining notes
from the packs are not third-party graded but range from Choice to Gem
Uncirculated.
The pack pair was saved by an employee of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond and passed down through the family who were until
recently unaware of these packs’ tremendous rarity and desirability. We have
never before encountered a rollover pack pair such as this. It is truly a
remarkable find and difficult for us to estimate as we can find no price
history for an equivalent item. The pair, lot
3394 in the March 2021 auction, carries an estimate of $20,000-$30,000.
