Description
Fr. 1910-A. 1977A $1 Federal Reserve Note. Boston. PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ. Doubled Print Error.
An error that goes beyond simply the dramatic and embodies a borderline psychedelic aspect which draws the attention of the viewer albeit with a side of dizziness should you view it for more than a few seconds in person. The printed elements of the face have been mistakenly doubled, thus rendering George Washington a four-eyed mutant while individual design elements have been doubled in such a manner that calls to mind the iconic 1955 Doubled Die Lincoln Cent which has been a staple of numismatic focus since they first surfaced. Truly a great note that calls to mind the lax quality control at the Bureau of Engraving & Printing during the 1970s and one that is sure to attract fierce bidding as never enough examples of this impressive error type are ever available to satisfy collector demand at any given time. PMG comments "Second Print Doubled; Minor Offset Printing on Back."
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
