Design 22. Small red spiked seal. This is the description used when this note was discovered and offered by CAA/Heritage, "A spectacular, newly discovered piece! This note has never been offered to the collecting public. Prior to its appearance, only eight examples of this Friedberg number had been known. A single uncirculated note is listed as being in the ANA museum and there are two About New notes known, as well. The two previously mentioned About New notes are serial #13315 and #13316. This new note is #13314, and it clearly traces its original source to the run of three. The other five notes in the census are four low-grade pieces and a VF from the Oat Bin Hoard. This note is crackling fresh, with beautiful margins, 100% fully bright colors, utterly untouched surfaces and no defects of any kind save for some very light handling crinkles and a single immaterial vertical fold to the left of center. This beautiful piece should attract considerable bidder attention. It will likely represent one of the very finest type notes in the collection of its new owner." It might be a likely assumption that the two notes graded UNC, which are just within a few digits of the other high grade notes known, may well be very similar in quality to the four we are aware of. The fact is the quality of this note is spectacular and it, no doubt, will get and deserve solid interest. There are just 10 notes currently reported with this note being the finest known.
