1974 $100 FRN L-A SAN FRANCISCO

1974 $100 FRN – San Francisco District • L‑A Block • L32744638A • GEM Uncirculated

A sharp 1974 Series $100 Federal Reserve Note from the San Francisco District (L‑12), carrying serial L32744638A — a fully original GEM Uncirculated example from one of the toughest modern‑type $100 issues.

This note comes from the L‑A first block, the only block printed for the 1974 $100s. Production was extremely limited, with just over 5.12 million notes printed in total, making this one of the smallest print runs of any modern $100 FRN.

This GEM example offers everything collectors want:

• Strong embossing that pops through the back
• Well‑centered margins with excellent alignment
• Bold, fresh color straight from original pack storage
• Crisp, original paper with no handling or counting marks
• Premium eye appeal uncommon for the series

With such a small print run and only a single block issued, high‑grade 1974 $100s are increasingly difficult to locate — especially with this level of originality and visual punch.

A standout opportunity for collectors focused on low‑population modern type, San Francisco District notes, and true GEM survivors from the 1970s.
