2003A $2 Double Lucky Money Set
First offered for sale on January 22, 2008, this unique set sold out within a few days.
As the BEP reported,“this set features, for the first time ever, two crisp uncirculated $2 notes, with serial numbers beginning with ‘8888’, to symbolize good fortune and ‘2008’, to commemorate the New Year. These notes also feature serial numbers with the last four digits matching.”
The BEP also mentioned that total production was limited to only 4,888 sets. It was left to collectors to recognize that this set was the only present source of Series 2003A $2 ‘H-C’ block notes and $2 ‘H-D’ block notes.
Subsequently H-D block notes were issued on a limited basis for the Year 2009 and Year 2010 $2 Single Notes. However, no other 2003A Series $2 H-C block notes beyond the 4,888 issued here have ever been released.
This bears repeating,“no other Series 2003A $2 H-C block notes beyond the 4,888 issued here have ever been released.”
This very low issuance is not common knowledge due in large part to the complete lack of mention in the Schwartz & Lindquist Standard Guide to Small-Size U.S. Paper Money.
If the 2003A $2 H-C note was referenced in the Standard Guide (for example, as the 2004-A $10 Atlanta Star is), it would likely demand a much higher premium.
We are fortunate to have available for your consideration the following sets, priced at a very reasonable $110 per set:
H20086809D & H88886809C
H20086811D & H88886811C
The following fancy sets are priced at $175 per set:
H20089002D & H88889002C
H20089003D & H88889003C
H20089004D & H88889004C
This is a beautifully crafted set housed in a deluxe binder and box. Add in the scarcity and potential upside, and it makes for a wonderful collectible.
They say that good luck is a function of hard work. If that be the case, it’s fair to say that if we combine awareness (such as the facts surrounding this little piece of Americana) with hard work that we could very well double our good luck.
Hard work + Awareness = Double Lucky
Why ever settle for ‘single lucky’ when Double Lucky is within your grasp and only a phone call away?
