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.
