1928-A, $20 Federal Reserve Note Boston
.
Fr-2051-A
.
This note clearly shows original embosing and has no discern-
able defects that we can through the holder. Series 1928-A
notes are far scarcer than the 1928 notes. As the hobby
matures, collectors will someday pay larger premiums for this
issue. Only 35 examples reported of the 1928-A series as
opposed to 295 examples on the regular 1928 $20 from Boston.

About New 53PPQ and Very Fine 30PPQ
.
Fr-2052a-G
.
This pair of dark green seal $20s from Chicago display two dif-
ferent color shades of the Treasury seal. The lower grade piece
has a slightly lighter seal color, which, while not light enough to
qualify as an LGS variety, clearly is of a transitional seal color
and could be designated as such. Lot of 2 notes.
Estimated Value ....................................................$125 - 175

1928-C, $20 Federal Reserve Note. LGS. PCGS Very Fine
25PPQ
.
Fr-2053-G
. This is a pleasing, fully original circulated
example of a very scarce series which was printed for only two
district banks, Chicago and San Francisco. While this Chicago
$20 is from the more "common" of the two districts, it is in an
uncommon state of preservation--a completely original and
problem-free note in a moderately circulated grade. Undoubt-
edly a note that will receive quite a bit of interest from collec-
tors, and one that will likely inspire spirited bidding before the
hammer falls as there simply aren' t enough notes from this
series available, with this quality of preservation in a mid-range
circulated grade, to meet collector demand.
Estimated Value ................................................... $500 - 700
