Fr. 1100*. 1914 $100 Federal Reserve Star Note. Richmond. PMG Fine

A Unique Replacement from Richmond Serial Number "E2*" Fr. 1100*. 1914 $100 Federal Reserve Star Note. Richmond. PMG Fine 12. Serial Number 2. A veritable trophy from the Richmond district that was saved around 1915. This well-circulated $100 Federal Reserve Note is not merely another representative of the long-lived Series of 1914, but also a Replacement that stands tall representing a population where only a single survivor which somehow avoided redemption is recorded. Yet the likely reason behind its unlikely survival is made abundantly clear by way of the Treasury overprint. Emblazoned with a single-digit serial number that reads "E2*," this note stands proudly as the lowest serial number seen on any Replacement issued before the Series of 1928 was introduced and can trace a rich history on the auction circuit. Looking back to 2005, this same note first sold for $13,800 amidst a frenzied bidding session before it dipped into the long-term holdings of a private collection for roughly two decades before resurfacing again at auction earlier this year amidst a strong degree of interest from collectors. That said, bidders would be wise to consider that this note is always an opportunity to be had when presented as it may very well elude the eyes of the collecting public for a few decades before again being offered. Estimate: $7,000 - $9,000. Click here for certification details from PMG.
