A Perfect Palindrome in Premier Condition

This listing offers a truly exceptional and highly collectible piece of modern United States currency. It is a 1988 Series One Dollar Federal Reserve Note from the New York district. It has been professionally graded by PCGS Banknote as Gem Uncirculated 66 with the PPQ, or Premium Paper Quality, designation, a testament to its outstanding preservation and original quality.

The defining feature of this note is its remarkable Super Radar serial number: B69999996D. This number is a palindrome, meaning it reads exactly the same forwards and backwards. This specific pattern, with the central digits repeating, is classified as a Super Radar, a highly prized subset of fancy serial numbers that collectors actively seek out. This unique serial number transforms an already collectible note into a standout piece for any currency collection.

What Does PCGS Gem Uncirculated 66 PPQ Mean?

The PCGS grade is a powerful guarantee of the note's exceptional quality. The Gem Uncirculated 66 designation on the 70-point scale indicates a note with outstanding visual appeal. It will have above-average centering, and any handling is extremely minimal and not distracting. The PPQ, or Premium Paper Quality, designation, assigned to all PCGS-graded notes of 65 or higher, confirms the paper is completely original and has never been chemically treated, washed, or otherwise altered to improve its appearance. The note is permanently housed in a clear, tamper-evident PCGS Banknote holder, guaranteeing its condition and authenticity.
