1966 $100 Legal Tender – Low Serial ERROR A00000881A – PCGS 62PPQ
This 1966 $100 Error Note is a striking example of a rare Legal Tender issue featuring serial A00000881A and graded PCGS 62PPQ. Collectors will appreciate the bold red seal, crisp originality, and the dramatic error that sets this note apart from standard 1966 hundreds.
While photographing the note, we discovered a back‑to‑front inking offset strip running vertically down the left side of the face. The strip is roughly 1mm wide, dark, and extends from the top margin to the bottom, clearly visible and unquestionably printed during production. This is not damage, handling, or contamination — it is a legitimate offset printing error that PCGS did not label on the holder.
This is the first error we have ever offered on a $100 Legal Tender, and finding it on a low‑serial example makes it even more remarkable. Minor in scale but major in significance, this is the kind of discovery collectors dream about — a hidden error sitting in plain sight on one of the most desirable Red Seal types.
Certified PCGS 62PPQ Crisp Uncirculated, the note retains bright white paper, bold red overprints, and fully original texture. The PPQ designation confirms natural paper surfaces with no restoration or pressing. A small corner bump and a slight touch of handling keep it out of the higher Uncirculated grades, but the note remains crisp, clean, and visually appealing throughout.
The 1966 $100 Red Seal marks the end of the Legal Tender era for high‑denomination U.S. currency. Low serial numbers on this type are scarce, and pairing one with an unlisted offset error elevates this piece into a category of its own. It offers rarity, originality, and a unique production flaw that escaped Treasury inspection and third‑party grading.
If you’re searching for a premium low‑serial Red Seal $100 with a legitimate printing error, this note checks every box — early number, PPQ originality, and a newly discovered offset that makes it truly one‑of‑a‑kind. Not a single-digit fetching over $10,000 in today’s market, nor a two-digit serial number going for $2,500 and up, but a three-digit note that’s uncirculated and comes with an error.
