1995 $5 8888 Prosperity Sheets
Price: $150
This is truly a unique, one-of-a-kind offering, that is now sold-out at the BEP. What sets this issue apart is:
It is the ONLY source for 1995 $5 HD, HE, HF, HG, HH, HI, HJ, and HK blocks. No other notes from these blocks were issued for commerce or to collectors by the BEP.
This issue is strictly limited to only 1125 sheets per block. Each is an 8-note sheet issued from the St Louis District (represented by the ‘H’ suffix), resulting in a maximum of only 9,000 notes per block.
Since St Louis is the 8th District, the result is a unique group of 8 separate blocks from the 8th District with each note hosting a minimum of twelve 8s (a minimum of 4 in each serial number, 8888xxxx, and 4 more that represent the St Louis District) on each individual 8-note sheet.
Also, these are the only group of fancy $5 currency sheets ever issued by the BEP.
These were marketed extensively to the overseas Asian communities. As a result, certain blocks, particularly the HF and HG blocks, are extremely difficult to locate in the United States.
The Standard Guide to U.S. Small-Size U.S. Paper Money, considered by many to be the small-size collector’s bible, gives just a passing mention of these blocks. The Guide does list the common HA to HC blocks in normal fashion, but fails to individually list the HD to HK blocks. It appears that the authors don’t know quite what to make of these.
In contrast the Guide does list individually other limited issue sheets, such as the 2004A $10 Atlanta GF Star. The 2004A Atlanta $10 GF* was also issued strictly in sheets and has a similar small production run of 9600 notes. They are priced in the Guide at $200 per Note in CU condition.
The H88880001J sheet shown here is for illustrative purposes only.
Please call or e-mail us for details regarding the sheets we currently have in stock. At a price of $150 per 8-note sheet, these are likely one of the best values available across the universe of collectible currency.
