LadzVault73 Curator's Note: Series 481 dollar bills are a major focal point for specialized military type collectors. While the fractional cents from this series are relatively common in uncirculated packs, the $1 notes saw intense circulation velocity across international military base exchanges (BXs). This pristine specimen is exceptional, earning the elite PPQ (Premium Paper Quality) distinction from PCGS Currency, which guarantees 100% original, un-pressed paper body structure with deep original embossing lines. The centering is superb, the green-and-brown security geometric lathe lines are razor-sharp, and the color registration is intensely vivid. A must-have centerpiece for any high-end military registry album.
