$1 1928-A Silver Certificate, Fr. 1601

EXPERIMENTAL Y-B Block

This BEP experiment was the first for small size notes and occurred during 1932-34. It consisted of the X-B and Y-B blocks of the 1928-A and 1928-B Series (these two series were on the presses at the same time) testing different rag content in the paper, while the regular paper Z-B block for these two series was used as the control block. The X-B block paper was comprised of 50% linen and 50% cotton and the Y-B block paper was made of 75% linen and 25% cotton. 

A gorgeous  example of this Y-B block Experimental with natural paper wave, bold serial number embossing,  exceptional centering of the face, and face to back registration that is right on the money. This note has deservedly earned its lofty grade.

Recent Gem examples of other Y-B Experimental notes have sold in public auction between $900 - $2300. We're thrilled to offer this high-grade example well-below recent realizations.
