United States double-denomination errors from any timeframe and of any variety are extremely scarce. The known existence of this error is documented at least as far back as the famed Albert A. Grinnell Collection sale of November 1946. Hailing from one of two uncut half-panels of six subjects each, which together formed the full BEP sheet of 12 subjects, this banknote formerly occupied the fifth position down on the right-side panel, evidenced by its plate position letter K. Described by auction cataloger Barney Bluestone nearly 80 years ago as being “of the greatest rarity,” they knew then what we still know to be true today – that this note is indeed the King of All Errors. Long live the King!

Wow, I would love to find one like that in the wild. Is this even still remotely possible?

I like the 5 numeric seal on the face
I collect small size $10 by type, and as I think all of the known double denomination errors have a $10 on one side, I conclude that I need a complete set of the double denomination types for my collection. Alas, this is outside of my budget.
How in the world did this go from a PMG VF-35 to a PCGS UNC-62 ?
Someone has some explaining to do…
From the pictures it appears to be better than a 35, but I'm not sure why there is.such a big difference.

Never say never, ya never know
How many different $10 have you collected so far? Are they harder to collect than coins?

Yes, it's called a permanent marker...
Hmm. Kind of like comparing apples to oranges, no?
Maybe 15 or so. I have a gold certificate, a silver certificate, and I think one of each type of federal reserve notes, except for the Hawaii overprint. I do need a better selection of the different colored seals that were on the 1934 notes. I don't have a federal reserve bank note (yet) but I do have a few small size $10 nationals. I have considered trying to collect common small $10 nationals, looking especially for inexpensive ones so I could get a variety of notes, and not otherwise caring about which bank they are from.
I can't compare how difficult it is compared to coins though.
Isn't there a saying that "time heals all wounds". I guess that sometimes goes for folds, too. It's a miracle!
