Matched Pair of Star Notes Sells for $1,644 – A Unique Numismatic Auction Success

Matched Pair of Star Notes Auctioned for $1,644 – A Remarkable Numismatic Journey

The auction for this rare matched pair of star notes closed with a final bid of $1,644

The matched pair of star notes, first discovered in the Project 2013B database, has found a new home through an exciting auction, closing at $1,644. This exceptional discovery began when Project 2013B identified the two rare notes within its extensive database and connected the two separate owners, recognizing the unique opportunity to unite the banknotes. Through careful coordination, the pair was graded and eventually listed for auction, drawing significant interest from collectors eager to secure this rare combination. A total of 17 auction house members were tracking this auction, and the listing racked up 630 views. The opening bid of $500 was quickly matched, with the price rapidly jumping to $1,550 before a last-minute bid pushed it up to $1,644. After the auction house's buyer's fee, the final price paid by the buyer was $1,849.50.
