2nd Matched Pair Sold on Ebay

The 2nd matched pair of 2013B star notes sold on Ebay last night for $3705.00 

We are SLOWLY getting a better feel on the value of these matched pairs. When I first learned of the 2013B printing error a few years back, there were some heady prediction as high as $150,000! Well, maybe if both notes were graded 70 EPQ (exceptional paper quality), and the serial number was 00000001. 

As these auctions happen, I will update the following table.  This table has been added to the online database and can be found at this link: Auction History

TIP: If you are new to currency collecting and have a bill in 'like brand new' condition, DO NOT FOLD THE BILL!  As soon as a bill shows evidence of being folded the highest grade it will get is a 58.

Here is the ebay listing once the auction ended:

Another Matched Pair Is Up For Auction

Up for auction is what, as best as I can recall, only the 2nd matched pair ever to be put up for auction. Last month a matched pair sold on Ebay for $9301, but it was indeed the same pair that had sold at the Stacks-Bowers auction the previous year. That pair graded as a 66 and a 35 by PMG, and had sold at Stacks-Bowers for $7200 (including a 20% auction house fee).

The pair being auction now, is a *NEW* pair (the 18th according to my records) with serial number 08221896. This pair was acquire by "CH" (“123collectivity” on Ebay), who then had them graded by PMG. The grades came back as a 58 and 30, so a bit lower than the pair from last months auction, but it should be interesting to see how much the grade impacts the final price. The first bid is already in at $999.99

The auction ends in 6 days, on Friday April 22 at 8:17pm (Eastern Time).

The seller,  “123collectivity” on Ebay, graciously sent me these images of his certified bills ahead of the auction.
