Fr. 1964‑D* — 1950C $5 FRN RADAR-STAR*

Cleveland District • PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ Radar Serial Number • Only 1.8 million Stars Printed

Offered here is a high‑end, early‑series Replacement Note carrying a bold four‑digit radar serial number: D07388370*. This is a true radar, reading the same forward and backward, and it appears on a 1950C $5 Federal Reserve Star Note — a combination that is dramatically tougher than modern radars and aggressively sought after by advanced collectors.

This note was issued during the early 1960s, when the 1950C series was still circulating, yet it somehow survived decades in untouched, uncirculated condition before finally being certified by PMG. The result: a stunning PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ, confirming crisp originality, premium paper quality, and fully unhandled surfaces.

The Cleveland district (D‑4) is already a tougher district for high‑grade stars, and the 1950C series had a tiny star print run of just 1,800,000 notes — a fraction of what later series produced. Finding any CU star from this era is difficult. Finding one with a radar serial number is a true outlier.

Why This Note Is Special

• Radar Serial Number: D07388370* — a clean, symmetrical four‑digit radar
• PMG 64 EPQ: Choice Uncirculated with exceptional paper quality
• Early‑Series Star: Replacement notes from the 1950C series are far scarcer than later issues
• Only 1.8 million Stars Printed: Extremely low output for a small‑size FRN star run
• Cleveland District: A tougher district for high‑grade survivors
• Decades Untouched: Stored uncirculated until finally graded, preserving its originality

This is the kind of note that rarely surfaces — a radar star from an early series, in Choice Uncirculated EPQ, with a print run low enough to make modern collectors jealous.

Collector Impact

Radar stars from the 1950–1950D era are significantly under‑represented in the marketplace. Most were spent, damaged, or lost long before fancy‑number collecting became mainstream. Surviving CU examples with EPQ are tightly held, and radar stars from this era almost never appear in public offerings.

This piece checks every box: early series, star note, radar serial, low print run, high grade, EPQ designation. A premium addition to any fancy‑number, star‑note, or small‑size FRN collection.
