Description and research notes
The Series 1934 20 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Richmond Federal Reserve District, cataloged as Friedberg 2054-Edgs, represents the earlier reverse configuration within a certified Reverse Changeover Pair. The holder explicitly identifies this note as Dark Green (EA Block) and as a Reverse Changeover Note, confirming both its ink tone classification and its position within a documented plate transition boundary.
Reverse changeover notes preserve the exact moment when the Bureau of Engraving and Printing transitioned between reverse plate states during active production. Serial E17813377A immediately follows Serial E17813376A, forming a mechanically verified consecutive boundary that captures the change in reverse plate configuration within Richmond District twenty-dollar printing.
The Dark Green designation refers to the deeper ink tone associated with this reverse subtype, distinguishing it from lighter green variations in related issues. In the Friedberg system, 2054-Edgs identifies this specific tonal and plate configuration. The EA Block further anchors the note within its original production grouping.
The obverse features Andrew Jackson within the standardized small-size Federal Reserve Note design introduced in 1928. The Richmond Federal Reserve District is identified by the letter E within the district seal and corresponding serial prefix.
Graded PMG 63 EPQ Choice Uncirculated, the note retains original paper integrity and preservation consistent with its certified grade. The level of preservation supports detailed examination of reverse ink tone and plate characteristics central to the changeover classification.
