United States Series 1928B 10 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Kansas City District with Dark Green Seal, JA block, Friedberg 2002-Jdgs, graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated.

United States 1928B - 10 Dollars Federal Reserve Note, Kansas City District, Dark Green Seal, JA Block (Friedberg 2002-Jdgs), PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated

The 1928 series marked the first issuance of standardized small-size Federal Reserve Notes, replacing the larger nineteenth-century format. These compact dimensions improved printing efficiency and storage while retaining the deeply engraved intaglio artistry characteristic of Bureau of Engraving and Printing production. The portrait of Alexander Hamilton anchors the obverse, framed by the classical ornamental border that became synonymous with early small-size ten-dollar notes.

United States Series of 1934 5 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Cleveland District, Friedberg 1956-Dm DGS Mule, DA block, graded PMG 35 EPQ Choice Very Fine, showing portrait of Abraham Lincoln and black Federal Reserve seal.

United States 1934 - 5 Dollars Federal Reserve Note, Cleveland District, DGS Mule (DA Block), Friedberg 1956-Dm, PMG 35 EPQ Choice Very Fine

The designation 'DGS Mule' refers to the combination of a 1934 face plate paired with a back design originally intended for a different signature configuration. Mule notes were not intentionally created as collectible varieties; rather, they resulted from the practical realities of plate usage and inventory management at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. As plate revisions and signature changes occurred, remaining stocks of engraved backs were sometimes matched with updated faces, producing distinctive crossover varieties now carefully cataloged by Friedberg.

United States 1988A 10 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Philadelphia District showing Insufficient Inking Error on face with faded denomination medallions and title, PMG 64 EPQ Choice Uncirculated

United States 1988A - 10 Dollars Federal Reserve Note Philadelphia District Insufficient Inking on Face Error (Friedberg 2028-C)

This 1988A 10 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Philadelphia District (Friedberg 2028-C, CA Block) exhibits a major Insufficient Inking Error across its face printing. The left and right '10' denomination medallions, top border inscriptions, and parts of the ornamental scrollwork show extreme fading, with many engraved lines barely visible. The green Treasury seal and serial numbers remain sharp and fully inked, confirming that the fault occurred during the black intaglio printing pass, prior to the overprint stage.
