PART 4 of my FRN Collection is now up and being auctioned February 2, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. PST.

There are a large variety of notes in about 120 lots, including: Dozens of Top Pop notes, More Rare Mules/Non-Mules, a rare 1934A 637 $5 FRN Chicago Mule from the extra scarce G-B Block, and six (6) different 204 Late Finished Backs, as well as a wide number of nice Stars, Lots of Fancy Serials, Radar and Super Stars, and high quality Collector notes.

Also included are some $1 & $2 FRNs, $10 and $20 Change Over Pairs, Radars, Radar Stars, Repeater Stars and more than a few Top Pop $5, $10 and $20 FRNs. Also included is a super nice 1928 $50 SF FRN in PMG 66EPQ, and a Super Radar $100 2006 SF Star in PMG 66EPQ*.

There should be something for everyone.

As some Forum member are aware, I am selling substantially all of my small size Federal Reserve Notes in Stack's November Baltimore Signature Sale and in Monthly Collectors' Choice sales for December, January and February. This includes all of my best San Francisco notes as well as scarce and rare FRNs from other Districts. Nothing of substance is being held back -- only some duplicates and modern issues are not being sold.

The consignment of over 800 notes includes a number of unique notes, top pop notes, many early and top grade stars, as well as the largest sale of late finished plates (637, 629 and 204 FRNS), scarce and rare FRN mules, etc. Many of these have never been offered publicly, and undoubtedly may not appear again for some time.

The time seems right to refocus my currency collecting interests, and since I am not getting any younger, to scale my currency obsession back a bit.

As many of you are aware, this offering features the best collection of San Francisco District small size notes ever formed. I was very happy to receive one of PMG’s Best US Set 2020 award for the San Francisco $5 Feds in my collection – which also includes a fair number of PCGS-Banknote and PCGS-C graded notes as well.

While this collection has a focus on the San Francisco District, it is far more comprehensive in scope. Rare stars and approximately 170 Top Pop notes from all twelve Fed Districts, spanning Series 1928 to 2013, are represented in $5, $10 and $20 denominations. Also included are a number of fancy and high grade San Francisco $1 FRNs and early $50 & $100 SF stars. A large number of radar, repeater and low serial and other “fun” notes that spiced up my collecting are being sold as well.

Also being offered are my Hawaii Emergency issues, including several Top Pop notes, and likely the best complete set of $20 Hawaii varieties.

I really want to thank the many fellow collectors, and more than a few trusted dealers, that have helped me through the several decades it has taken to build my collection, and perhaps just as importantly, shared their knowledge about these bits of monetary history. We are all just temporary caretakers of these notes and I sincerely hope that the new custodians will enjoy them as much as I have.
