Screenshot from the GreatCollections online auction displays the concluding bid for the Series 2013 Matched Pair B08525883 $1 Star Notes

A recent development in the field of currency collecting saw a Series 2013 matched pair dollar bills, bearing the serial number B08525883, successfully auctioned last Sunday for $1660, plus a 10% buyer's fee. This particular set of Star Notes is a prime example of rare error currency, notably achieving the fifth-highest price among fourteen pairs of comparable graded condition. This outcome further highlights the robust market for such specialized numismatic items. This remarkable pair, recognized as a prime example of unique collectible currency errors, was first identified on February 13, 2024, a process that underscores the detailed methodologies involved in how to identify rare dollar bills. The co-owners of these banknotes strategically utilized Project 2013B to facilitate their professional grading and subsequent successful auction at GreatCollections, thereby bringing another significant historical currency pair to the collecting community. 

 From the DC note owner:

Wow, this is super exciting news! Thank you, Johnny, for all you did and thank you **** for deciding to pair your note up with me to sell them.

Auction Alert: Rare Matched Pair $1 Star Notes (SN 08525883, VF 25)

GreatCollections Auction Spotlight: Matched Pair 08525883 $1 Star Notes (VF 25) Set for June 15, 2025

A stunning PCGS graded matched pair of 2013 $1 star notes, both VF 25.

This exciting discovery marks the 15th matched pair of 2025 and the 158th identified by Project 2013B since its inception in 2021, underscoring the ongoing allure of collectible U.S. dollar bills. This particular pair of 2013B Star Notes, each confirmed by photo proof from their respective co-owners, brings a unique backstory to the world of rare currency. 

 The 'Fort Worth' printed note was registered in 2025 by Project 2013B member Gri40, an avid collector from Florida. Gri40, inspired by Eric Miller on TikTok, developed a passion for hunting star notes and unique serial numbers, often acquiring new notes through their son's work at Papa John's. The 'Washington DC' printed counterpart was registered earlier, in 2024, by member o4iJY, who has a more extensive history with the project, having submitted a significant 27 serial numbers to the database. This collaboration between collectors, one relatively new and the other more seasoned, beautifully illustrates the community aspect of Project 2013B.

Rare Duplicated Serial Number Error Pair Sells for $2,130.75 — Featuring Lowest Known Match #00141128

Historic Auction: Lowest Known Duplicated Serial Number Error Pair #00141128 Sells for Over $2,100

Final moments of the auction where a last-second bid secured the rare duplicated serial number error note pair for $1,894, plus buyer’s premium.

With just nine seconds remaining in Sunday’s auction, a final bid secured the winning price of $1,894. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer is responsible for a $236.75 buyer’s premium, bringing the total purchase amount to $2,130.75.

This particular pair features the duplicated serial number 00141128, which is currently the lowest known serial number ever confirmed and auctioned as a matched error pair. The production anomaly that led to the duplication occurred across three separate print runs, with the first run spanning serial numbers 00000001 to 00250000. As the earliest and oldest of the three runs, it is uncertain how many notes from this batch remain in circulation today.

Series 2013 Matched Pair Dollar Bills Sell for $2,051, and A Rare Error Currency Milestone

Discover the Fascinating Journey of a Rare Series 2013 Matched Pair Dollar Bills

Matched pair dollar bills graded 'Very Fine 25' set a record with a $2,051 hammer price.

A captivating piece of numismatics history unfolded last Sunday as a Series 2013 matched pair dollar bills, serial number B08803416*, achieved a hammer price of $2,051 (plus a 10% buyer's fee) at auction. This rare error currency pair, graded "Very Fine 25," (both notes) now boasts the third-highest auction result for such collectible U.S. dollar bills in this condition.

The journey of this rare matched pair began years ago. The 'Fort Worth' printed 2013B Star Note was first registered by member TZN4D on August 15, 2024—the same day the matched pair was officially confirmed. Its counterpart, the 'Washington DC' printed 2013B Star Note, had been registered earlier in May 2022 by member miQNx. 

 The owner of the DC note shared their excitement back when the matching pair was first detected, remarking, "This will be my third match if confirmed. My first one is currently up for auction through Project 2013B and GreatCollections. Here's hoping for #3!" The co-owners of these matched bills turned to Project 2013B for grading and auction facilitation. 

Project 2013B’s Promotion Triumphs Over GreatCollections’ Minimal Effort

GreatCollections played the role in bringing this rare currency pair to market, doing the 'hard work' of collecting their buyer's fee, and to be honest practically nothing in terms of promotion. ALL promotion was undertaken by this website, and using its various social media accounts like X and facebook. These efforts by Project 2013B were evident in the results.  Just one month ago, a matched pair which was sold on GreatCollections, had banknotes graded a Very Fine 30 and a Choice Fine 35 respectively. That '35/30' graded pair listing was not consigned through this project.  The final bid for that pair was $1894.00 which was $157 (7.3%) LESS than what was achieved on Sunday with our pair of 'Very Fine 25" graded banknotes; both bills being a lower grade than the lowest graded bill of the '35/30' graded pair.

Without Project 2013B's promotion, a higher-graded matched pair fetched a lower auction price.

Project 2013B Breaks $160,000 Milestone in Rare Matched Pairs

Since Project 2013B took over the Zegers-Winograd Project in October 2021, the total value of matched pair dollar bills sold at auction has exceeded $160,000. This milestone is a testament to the enduring appeal of rare error currency and collectible U.S. dollar bills among currency enthusiasts. To date, 64 auctions have been recorded, including fixed-price “Buy-it-Now” listings that are categorized as auctions for simplicity. Out of these, 52 matched pairs were detected and confirmed by Project 2013B, showcasing its pivotal role in the duplicated serial number matched pair marketplace.

Now representing over $160,000 in total auction sales since October 2021.
