Back in about 19 and 99, browsing the BEP website, I noticed a
$5 Premium Federal Reserve Note set offered for just $515.00.
After reading the description, and since only 2,000 sets were to
be produced, and having been alerted that but 50 sets remained....
...I fell over myself ordering a set. The S/N of my set is #1893.
It was later that I learned that 2,000 copies of anything the BEP produces
is a LOT of things... Oh well. It was nice, and only several months later
did I learn that my set had an error note!
Holy Toledo! Looking at the Atlanta note, sure enough, I have the error
note exhibiting "State" misspelled in the seal, instead of "States."
I tried, w/o success, for several months to determine how many of these sets
were printed, having the error note. I could not. I have decided that
ALL 2,000 sets contain the error note. I have not located a set, in all
these past years, that did NOT contain the misspelled seal note.
If anyone reading this is interested in my set it is, of course, for sale.
I will not sell it for less than the original price, tho.
And, because I found a CU Atlanta "Star" note, correcting the error, and it
is now part of the set, I will ask a small premium for that.... Prolly
not more than $500... Depends...
