1872 $20 South Carolina Obsolete Note – Repeater Serial #2525 – PMG 68EPQ Superb Gem – Plate B – Only 3 Finer
A stunning 1872 State of South Carolina $20 Obsolete Banknote, carrying the bold repeater serial 2525, Plate B, and certified by PMG as a 68EPQ Superb Gem Uncirculated. This is elite territory for obsolete notes — razor‑sharp inks, exceptional paper quality, and centering that is nearly dead‑on. The visual pop on this piece is immediate.
PMG’s population report shows 98 graded in 68EPQ, with only three examples graded finer at 69EPQ. That puts this note firmly in the top tier of known survivors. Recent market action backs it up: a PMG 68EPQ realized $600, while a 69EPQ example brought $2,400 — a massive jump that highlights how condition rarity drives this series.
The repeater serial 2525 adds even more appeal, giving this note a desirable fancy‑number pattern on top of its already elite grade. Obsolete notes with both superb gem quality and fancy serials are extremely tough, and this one checks every box.
A premium, investment‑grade South Carolina obsolete — superb gem, repeater serial, and population‑proven scarcity. A top‑shelf example for any advanced collection.
