Fr. 2306*. 1935A $1 North Africa Emergency Star Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated

A Significant Offering for the Replacement Specialist Fr. 2306*. 1935A $1 North Africa Emergency Star Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ. A true outlier in technical terms. Bidders have here for their consideration a truly exceptional note that did more than just "avoid" circulation amidst a wartime context. Instead, this note perhaps spent time as part of a pay requisition that went unissued as these notes which were originally issued for combat operations in North Africa and were still being around the time Patton's Third Army made it to Czechoslovakia during the closing stages of hostilities. Even though the exact circumstances behind its survival have been lost to memory and the fickle nature of human mortality, bidders nonetheless have a technical and aesthetic paragon that's bound to turn heads. Here the yellow-blue overprint beckons with a level of clarity unmet among circulated examples while the paper body reflects a quality evocative of the very day this note was printed during the 1940s thanks to sharp knife-like margins and engraved detail that echoes the impression of the printing plates making this a real opportunity for the collector seeking to build a truly remarkable collection of WWII-era Emergency Notes.
