Don't fall for "High Grade," "Superb Grade," "Awesome Grade" uncertified notes being offered online.  Most of the time, there is a reason why they are not in a third-party grading company holder.  Think about it.  It's a multi-million dollar epidemic.  Avoid being taken advantage of!  Message me for details.

Here is a very attractive, colorful and crisp 1934-B $10 Federal Reserve Note from the Dallas district with sharp edges, square corners, clean paper and excellent eye-appeal.  The dark green color on the seal and serials is nice and bold.  The Friedberg number is Fr. 2007-K and the treasury signatures are Julian-Vinson.

This note has been certified and graded by PMG as Gem Uncirculated (CU) 66EPQ, which makes it an ideal grade for collectors looking to put together nice sets of the highest-end material possible.  In fact...

...this note is "Top Pop 2/0" at PMG, meaning no other notes have ever been certified at a higher grade and only one (1) certified at the same 66EPQ grade, a note that I once owned and consigned to Heritage Auctions several years back that realized over a thousand dollars.  This is as high as it gets with only one (1) other example that can claim membership to the Dallas Vinson $10 "Top Pop" club.

Furthermore, there are only two (2) 65's in existence, so the total population of PMG-certified Gems is a whopping FOUR (4) with this 66EPQ being in the top slot.

Fred Vinson is COLOSSAL!  Do some research on him.  He is on a very short list of men who have served in all three (3) branches of the US federal government, but if you look at that list, nearly all of the other guys served in weak sauce positions.  Mr. Vinson was a Kentucky congressman for over a decade, starting out his career in the Legislative branch, then served in the Executive branch as Secretary of the Treasury only for a short while before being appointed as Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court -- the top position of the Judicial branch.  His short tenure as part of Harry S. Truman's cabinet (he only signed notes for approx. one year from 1945-1946) is the reason why these 1934-B series notes are so rare and popular -- not many printed and not nearly enough to go around to meet collector demand.

Early Federal Reserve Notes rock! I love trying to put together district sets (A-1 through L-12) of each series in nice grades, which is a very challenging endeavor.  It makes collecting really fun.  If you need any particular districts for your sets, message me and I may have duplicates (I have hundreds of certified FRN's - they are my passion and I believe they are a great long-term value play for investing).

The best part of this note's grade is the "EPQ" that was awarded by PMG.  For those of you out there just starting out in the hobby, its a great idea to look for original, exceptional paper quality when shopping for notes.  Greedy dealers of today and yester-year have dreamt up a number of ways to "improve" a note's appearance to unsuspecting and untrained eyes in an attempt to maximize profits (pressing, chemically treating, etc.).  The sad thing about this is that such deceitful and unnatural tactics ruin a note's originality forever.  I am proud to say that this note has not fallen victim (yet) to these tactics, as evidenced by the "EPQ" on the holder.

I have a full-blown, no-questions-asked return policy, so feel free to buy the note with the expectation that it can be returned if you are not satisfied.  I will even pay for your return shipping.  But I have a feeling that you won't want to return it once you have it in your hand.

I will be listing over 200 notes over the next couple of months (I am downsizing my collection some) so be sure to check back with me, or better yet, add me to your favorite sellers list.  I just received back several hundred notes from PMG and there is a lot of exciting, rare, high-grade stuff in these stacks.  Almost my entire collection is decent, quality material.  I have worked hard on developing my "eye" for original, problem-free notes over the years and have been cherry picking shops and shows for over a decade.

Thanks!  Please email me with any questions.  I will be highly responsive to all inquiries.
