    Description

    One of the great bargains in U.S. paper money.
    UNIQUE! The only U.S. GOVERNMENT-made Experimental Test Note, NOT to be confused with vastly overpriced PRIVATE Test Notes printed by the untold thousands or millions per issue.
    In PCGS's "Miscellaneous" section of their population report, PCGS inexplicably tallies this truly rare, GOVERNMENT-MADE pattern with hundreds of private, foreign, and other non-government issues printed by the untold thousands or millions EACH. The actual population is 31 in MS66 and 18 in MS67 (none are finer).
    The authenticity of these government-made Test Notes is definitively proven by their fingerprint-like roller marks; specific dimensions; serial number placement, ink, embossing, and font; BEP-used paper; and containment in genuine BEP wrappers (click the 5th image). Hence, their prestigious PCGS certification and advertised price of up to 9,000 in top grade (click the 2nd image).
