Design & Serial Breakdown

• District Representation: Issued for District 3 (Philadelphia),

• Serial Analysis (2 397 397 4):

• • Features an internal 3-digit repeat core (...397 397...).

  • The repeating core is neatly framed by ascending outer digits: starting with 2 and terminating with 4 (2 - [397] - [397] - 4), creating a balanced numerical step around the twin triads.

  • Digits present: 2, 3, 4, 7, 9 (a 5-digit sequence). While not a full technical repeater across all 8 digits, the clean dual-triad 

Condition Assessment

• Technical Grade: Crisp Uncirculated (CU 63 – Gem CU 65)

• Paper & Eye Appeal:

  • Pack-fresh, uncirculated condition with sharp 90-degree corners.

  • Completely free of vertical center folds, handling ripples, corner bends, or teller snaps across Thomas Jefferson's portrait.

  • Clean, bright margins with no edge roughing or ink stamps.

  • Deep intaglio embossing remains sharp on the Treasury seal, green serial digits, and the reverse Declaration of Independence engraving.
