Stack's Bowers: The Logan Talks Collection Item 6 Obverse Remarkable Matching Serial Number Pair A00005000A.jpg

Remarkable Matching Serial Number Pair A00005000A Lot of (2) Fr. 1500 & 1600. 1928 $1 Legal Tender Note & Silver Certificate. PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58 EPQ to Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. Matching Serial Numbers. Serial Number - 00005000. Among the remarkable entries in the Logan Talks Collection, this is perhaps the most significant from a numismatic standpoint. Bidders will have the opportunity to consider a $1 Legal Tender Note and a $1 Silver Certificate from the Series of 1928, both bearing the matching serial number A00005000A.

For collectors drawn to fancy serial numbers, this is nothing short of a generational opportunity, fit for only the most discerning collections. Adding further importance, the $1 Legal Tender Note is understood to be the very last note issued in 1933, with the remaining notes not released until roughly 15 years later in Puerto Rico.

Estimate: $1,000 - $1,500.

Provenance: The Logan Talks Collection.
