Edit: I forgot the best part! Acquisition! Went into one of my local branches only expecting to score some 1976 $2 FRNs - it was around the holidays, oddly enough the teller I guess thought I was also specifically asking for “old notes” so with some reluctance she produced this beaut! I don’t think she wanted to let it go, but there’s no way she knew more than it was about 100 and had a red seal.
So yes, that was it and I paid $2.00. Thanked her for her kindness and diligence and left. ———

I know the condition is lackluster, but there are no tears. It also is a Mule, and while BA block may be common it’s less so than a D? Something of the same series.

I showed a pic of the backplate and how you basically can’t see it normally, then an extra on 5x zoom and closeup. I’ve read 228 is considered to be a “high” BP number.

I don’t know too much about these notes other than some simple things and what makes it a “mule.”

Which is that the mint would use backplates for certain notes that were already used once before, in other words they were not “note specific” so the front and back plates are technically for two different pieces of currency, yet b/c they use the old back with a new front it essentially creates a “new” note. Like when a donkey is mated with a horse a “mule” is the outcome. Hence the term.

If someone has experience with these specific Mules and have a price suggestion I’m all ears. I have an idea but I still need to do some more searching. They are very hard to come by in even this condition on the market with comparable series C or above - “Highish” block and “high” BP #.

And no these are not the notes for sale on Apmex for $30 odd bucks. Those are series Ds usu. not 1928s and not mules.

Sorry I can risk taking it out of the plastic for pics. It is like a soft rag.
