About This Note
The note you see here is the exact pack you will receive. All photos are ours and show the pack both before certification (raw consecutive pack) and after grading at PCGS Banknote Gem UNC 66 PPQ.
This is one of the most extraordinary error currency offerings ever to come to market: a complete, intact, consecutive pack of 100 Series 2017A $2 Federal Reserve Notes from the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank: every single note bearing the Solid/Filled Star error: certified as a unit by PCGS Banknote at Gem Uncirculated 66 PPQ.
The error itself: on a standard star note, both serial number positions end with a hollow five-pointed star (★). On these notes, the star to the right of the upper-right serial number is completely filled in with solid green ink, creating a visually striking "solid star": while the lower-left star retains the correct hollow center. This error has been documented only on $1 and $2 denominations. It is significant enough to have been added to the 5th Edition of United States Paper Money Errors, published by Whitman.
What makes this pack uniquely historic: the overwhelming majority of packs containing this error show only 20-25% of notes affected. A complete pack where all 100 consecutive notes carry the solid star error has never been recorded at public auction. Only one other complete error pack has ever been reported sold: privately, for nearly $10,000: and it was not as well centered as this pack.
Serial range L03463501★ through L03463600★, 100 fully consecutive notes. FW (Fort Worth) L-★ Block. Signed by Carranza and Mnuchin. Original BEP green-stripe "Twos" strap intact, face value $200.
Recent Heritage Auctions comps for individual certified examples (as of January 2025): PMG 68 EPQ: $312 (Feb 2024); PMG 67 EPQ: $312 (Mar 2024); PMG 67 EPQ: $228 (Jul 2024); PMG 64 EPQ: $240 (Oct 2024). At those values, the 100 notes in this pack represent a break-up value of $130-$312 per note: making this an intact trophy pack with substantial built-in value and enormous upside potential.
