Collectors rarely encounter matched repeater serials across different series, making this pair an exceptional dual-issue presentation.

A superb acquisition for the advanced collector of U.S. Fancy Serial Number Banknotes, combining rarity, precision, and top-tier certification quality.

Background Information

Repeater serial numbers, where a specific pattern repeats within the same number (e.g., “04310431”), have become one of the most sought-after categories within the field of modern paper money collecting.

The Series 1981 and Series 2001 $1 Federal Reserve Notes both feature the iconic George Washington design, produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) under different signature combinations. The earlier note (Fr#1911-Hm) also represents a “Mule” variety, recognized by its mixed plate configuration — an added appeal for specialists.

Matched repeater pairs spanning multiple decades are exceptionally rare, illustrating the statistical improbability of identical serial sequences across separate print generations.
