There are many spectacular notes in Heritage’s upcoming Long Beach auction. The top five I will be keeping an eye on are notes of exceptional quality. I look forward to sharing the auction results with you next month.
The first note is Lot 20637, a $10,000 1934 Federal Reserve Note PMG-graded Unc. 66 EPQ. According to Heritage, the note is one of just three $10,000s certified by PMG at this level for all series and districts. Having perfect centering, ideal colors, and excellent eye appeal, it should be a great performer. The note is projected to exceed its estimate of $200,000-$300,000. At the time of writing, the note has 13 bids and registered phone bidders; the lot tracking activity stands at 94, and there have been 3,010 page views.

The second note I am tracking is Lot 20635, a $5,000 1934 Federal Reserve Note graded Very Choice New 64 by PCGS. While this note has been listed in census research, this is the first public offering of the note. Estimated at $175,000-$225,000, at the time of writing the note has had 542 page views.
