PENTAGON HOARD $20 MISMATCHED SERIAL NUMBERS

Northeast Numismatics is offering an interesting error note hoard - here's the description from their email announcement. I have a small collection of error notes myself, mostly dollars. Nice find. -Editor

Pentagon Hoard $20 mismatched serial number

Some of you may recall an email we sent out last year announcing a group of currency errors that we had obtained. As with the rest of us, the fine folks at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing have their off days. One of those off days lead to what we are now offering - a group of $20 notes that have mismatched serial numbers!

These particular notes came from what we affectionately call The Pentagon Hoard. Someone contacted us about a run of notes they had recently obtained from an ATM machine inside the Pentagon. This particular employee had a mind for numbers, and impressively recognized that the serial numbers on some of the $20's he received from the machine were mismatching. He contacted a colleague of his and they descended back upon the ATM machine to see if there were more. Sure enough, they were able to withdraw approximately 50 notes before the serial numbers started matching again.

We are offering them all together for the first time, with grades ranging from 64 EPQ up to 68 EPQ. You'll find them listed in the currency section on our website. Not into the mistakes of the B.E.P. or currency in general? No problem, even through all that is currently going on, we've been adding plenty of new coins to our inventory.

We hope that all of you are doing well and staying safe!

P.S. Working remotely has allowed us more time to post to our blog. Be sure to check it out.
