Description
Serial Number 2 Minneapolis $2 Battleship
Fr. 772. 1918 $2 Federal Reserve Bank Note. Minneapolis. PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45. Serial Number 2.
Another impeccable selection from the exceptional assortment of $2 FRBNs that composed the Porter Collection. This example which hails from the Minneapolis district displays evidence of only light circulation and grade appropriate folds. Save for one key distinction, this note is more than your average "Battleship." Featuring an extraordinarily low serial number of I2A this note has likely spent much of its life folded away and handled periodically to impress guests and friends alike by successive generations before finding its way to public auction for the first time in 2007 per available records. Qualifying as the lowest reported serial number for the entire district, this note will likely remain the lowest barring what would make for a monumental and extremely unlikely discovery of a note that has likely been long lost to the ravages of time.
From the Porter Collection.
Estimate: $7000.00- $9000.00
