Two $10 2004A Federal Reserve Notes Signed

Description

Two $10 2004A Federal Reserve Notes Signed by one Kenneth Kipperman, an engraver at the Treasury Department. I’d never heard of the incident in the story but I like to collect the strange and bizarre. It seems that in 1987 he slipped an almost microscopic Star of David on a $1 stamp of Bernard Revel, a rabbi and scholar from the early 1900’s. Each stamp contains a tiny six-pointed star just to the left side of the educator`s mouth. Whether the stamp has any special value because of this or not, I do not know. Millions were printed.

The notes are sequentially numbered serials, $10 series 2004A Federal Reserve for the Chicago Reserve Bank signed by Cabral & Snow and printed at the Fort Worth facility. Kipperman’s signatures appear to be dated 11/16/2007. I know not who it was that got them signed.

Not for sale at this time, just for illumination of an incident you may not have heard of concering a collectible item. Purchased at a small auction where there was no interest in it besides mine. The notes themselves together are probably worth 40 to 50 dollars and whether Kipperman’s signature adds to that, who knows. He had his 15 minutes of fame and no one noticed but some stamp collectors.
