    Here she is....another hole filled in the $100 Small Size gap!!

    What do you think?? ;)
    Here is the write up from Heritage...

    Quote"Fr. 2172-B* $100 1988 Federal Reserve Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
    If you want to collect a star from this issue then New York is not only your best bet but your only bet as no other districts produced stars. This example is as stunning as any we have ever seen and we are stunned that it did not receive a higher grade. Four behemoth margins are seen with perfect centering and deep embossing all over. A somewhat fancier serial number B02077777* only adds to the allure of this particular item" UnQuote

    Just read that description...love the "This example is as stunning as any we have ever seen and we are stunned..." quote lol

    Super nice note, but I don't see how they were able to say "perfect centering" on that one though as it's obviously off a bit.

    Didn't know that NY was the only star for that series either so learned yet another thing on behalf of RickieB this week! ;)

    Very nice note though!

    PMG has 7 of them...

    1 - 53EPQ
    1 - 58
    3 - 66EPQ
    2 - 67EPQ

    ...also see that Heritage had another one the the 66's last December. Had nicer margins, but not the super-cool serial number so I like yours better!
