Teasing the Noost with the $2's is not nice. COngrats!

 

sorry brotha had to do it :high5:

 

Urban, i've got a couple pairs of matching ser. #'s but not 3. Very nice p/u

 

The low matched serial numbers must be part of a BEP commemorative set? I have the 2003 Commemorative Single Star Note sets, but they we're matched serial numbers. I'm curious if someone matched them up, or if they came from BEP already matched.

 

they are from the set . the seller had a few other sets of matched serials. 2 and 3 notes each i beleive

 

Oops! I meant to write "they were not matched serial numbers". Do you know which BEP set the notes came from? I've seen matched serial numbers in a 1995 $10 FRN for all 12 districts:


I've also seen matched serial numbers across denominations like 2004 Evolutions Series:



But, I haven't seen matching serial numbers for $2 FRNs -- Like Noost, I really like those $2 notes!

 

its from a low number district set they released a few years ago i beleive. i think they could have been purchased sepereately or as a subscription

 

I'll have to look for some -- I really like those matching serial numbers!

 

really nice bills

 

check ebay. i dont have the sellers name with me because i am at work but the seller had quite a few more sets of matching serials.

 

How is that these grading companies are slabbing notes cut from sheets. I mean at least they put the note on the slab, but I'm guessing that was only done because of how obvious the oversized margins were.

To me it just doesn't seem right.

Aside from my rant, those are very nice notes to have and I am truely jealous.

Congrats

 

I agree gatzdon, what purpose does it serve? You could cut it any size you want.

 

yeah i guess you could. this person must have cut it pretty well to get the grade it did. i just thought it was an interesting note to add to my collection

 

ON the heritage auctions, I was constantly seeing the notes cut from sheets with the 70 PPQ etc... grades and no note about how it was cut from a sheet after it left the BEP. The only clue was the serial number.

 

I too saw this gatzdon....I became very suspicuos of the top grade for a hand cut note from a new sheet....it reeks of an inside job if you ask me...
