Background Information

Matching serial number pairs across different series are highly prized among collectors. These occur when identical serials appear in consecutive production runs of later series, an anomaly made even more remarkable when both examples are preserved in top-tier condition.

The Series 1974 (Neff–Simon signatures) and Series 1977 (Morton–Blumenthal signatures) represent distinct printings during an era of U.S. monetary modernization. Both issues were produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) for the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank, distinguished by the “J” district letter.
