Description
1966 $100 Legal Tender Matched Pair Serial Number 30
An Extraordinary Opportunity for the Advanced Currency Collector
Offered here is one of the most impressive and visually stunning matched pairs of United States paper money we have encountered. This remarkable set consists of two Fr. 1550 1966 Series $100 Legal Tender Notes, featuring the incredibly low and perfectly matched serial number 00000030.
The pair includes:
- A00000030A – PCGS 64PPQ
- ★00000030A Star Note – PCGS 66PPQ
Together, these notes represent a truly elite collecting opportunity that is rarely available on the market.
One Star Note and One Non-Star Note
What makes this offering especially desirable is the fact that the notes are perfectly paired. One is a regular issue and the other is the corresponding star replacement note, both sharing the identical serial number 30. Finding a matching star and non-star pair is difficult enough, but locating such a pair with an ultra-low two-digit serial number is an entirely different level of rarity.
These notes immediately command attention and display tremendous eye appeal. Their originality, bright paper, and premium quality stand out from across the room.
The Last Legal Tender $100 Notes Produced
The 1966 Series marks the final issuance of large-sized Legal Tender obligations in the $100 denomination. As the last chapter in the historic Legal Tender note series, these notes hold a special place in United States currency history.
For collectors seeking premier examples of this iconic Friedberg number, finding two matching serial numbers of this caliber is exceptionally challenging.
Rarely Seen as a Complete Matched Set
Over the last several decades, we have recorded only a couple of matched star and non-star pairs under serial number 100. Some examples have appeared in circulated grades, while others have surfaced in uncirculated condition. However, few can rival the overall presentation, rarity, and quality represented by this outstanding pair.
Both notes are fully original and carry Premium Paper Quality designations from PCGS Currency, confirming their superior preservation and collector appeal.
