FR-1501 1928 $2 Serial 36 Legal Tender Note PMG 58EPQ
One of the Earliest 1928 $2 Notes Issued
This 1928 $2 Serial 36 Legal Tender Note, cataloged as FR-1501, is an extraordinary survivor from the very beginning of small-size United States currency production. Bearing the coveted serial number A00000036A, this note was among the first examples printed for the newly introduced 1928 $2 Legal Tender series.
Serial number 36 originated from the third sheet printed during production. The first sheet contained serial numbers 1 through 12, the second sheet contained serial numbers 13 through 24, and the third sheet carried serial numbers 25 through 36. As a result, this 1928 $2 Serial 36 note represents one of the earliest notes available to collectors today.
PMG 58EPQ Choice About Uncirculated
This remarkable 1928 $2 Serial 36 example has been certified by Paper Money Guaranty (PMG) as 58 EPQ Choice About Uncirculated. The sought-after Exceptional Paper Quality (EPQ) designation confirms the note retains original paper surfaces and outstanding eye appeal.
Collectors value PMG EPQ notes because they demonstrate originality, strong paper integrity, and superior preservation. The combination of a premium grade and an elite low serial number makes this note especially desirable.
Exceptional Collectibility and Rarity
Low serial numbers have long been a favorite among currency collectors, with examples below 100 commanding significant attention. This 1928 $2 Serial 36 note offers far more than a simple low serial number. It can be directly traced to the earliest sheets produced for the inaugural small-size $2 Legal Tender issue.
The desirable FR-1501 designation, serial number A00000036A, and PMG 58EPQ certification combine to create an impressive collectible with broad appeal.
