I only see one 1928D $2 D-A mule in the PMG population report. It’s graded AU55.
.
WOW!!
Bazinga!
Sold on Apr 23, 2021 for:$4,560.00
Really great note!
The note is in fact unique. At least for now. The PMG 55 in their pop report was a labeling error. That note is not a mule.
I won the note. Had to have it. Definitely a lot of money to pay but can you imagine the money that would bring if it had been a one of a kind coin? Probably seven figures!
Congrats on a trophy two dollar red seal! 👏
nice pick up
Excuse my ignorance as I'm still learning about US currency & trying to wrap my mind around all these intricate "sub-species" such as mules & such & such block. Can someone explain why this "D-A mule" $2 note sold on HA for so much & is so rare/special? (thanks in advance!)

A screenshot of the PMG population report should help you understand.
And the 1 showing isn't even legit.
Okay (thanks) & the "mules" are notes with different backplates (from older series, right?)
How can one tell that HA note is really a mule?
I've seen some notes with what seems like a high BPN to me but then I've seen some members here claim that these TPG notes really aren't mules (even though they have been ascribed as such).

Series 1928D $2 mules use a micro back plate number (288 or lower) and are actually 1928D faces on 1928C backs.
Interesting. So mules for the 1928D have BPN -that are smaller than usual & lower than 289? Right?
(In order to know whether a particular banknote is actually a "mule" one must know the threshold of the BPN's for each denomination & series?) Sometimes BPN are higher, some are lower, it all depends on which note were discussing.

The grading agency placed "mule" in the title
There's an article about this note in this publication.
