Description: Series 461 SPECIMEN – $10 Dollars – UNC – Exceptionally Rare! (ONLY 1 OTHER KNOWN) This Series 461 $10 Military Payment Certificate (MPC) SPECIMEN, cataloged as Pick# S807-1rs, is an exceptionally rare note, with only 1 other known example in existence. Produced around 1946 by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), it was part of a complete 7-note book acquired from a prominent collection. While the original book is not included in this sale, the item is documented with photos and notations from a church that received it as a donation in the 1950s. The seller chose not to grade the note, allowing potential buyers to physically inspect it before grading. It was also reviewed by experts at MPC Fest 2023, confirming its outstanding condition. •Pick Number: S807-1rs•Denomination: $10 Dollars•Condition: Uncirculated (UNC) Collector’s Appeal and Rarity This is an unparalleled opportunity to own one of only two known SPECIMEN examples from the Series 461.

In the quiet corners of Bloc Galleries, where history whispers from each collectible, two enigmatic felines hold court. Gertrude, with her elegant white coat, and Pete, 'The Man Cat', in his tuxedo attire, materialize each evening as the sun dips below the horizon. No one knows where they hail from, maybe an alternative universe but their vigilant eyes never miss a detail. At precisely 3:33 AM, under the soft glow of the moon, an extraordinary event unfolds. For a fleeting 15 minutes, they speak. Yes, speak! With articulate English accents, they offer a running commentary on the day's work, sparing no one from their sharp, albeit humorous, observations on our numismatic endeavors. "Another misaligned watermark?" Gertrude would quip, her tail flicking with amusement. Pete, ever the diplomat, might chime in, "Splendid effort on the cataloging, though, truly!" Their critiques, always laced with wit, leave us in chuckles and chagrins alike. But as the clock ticks towards 4:00 AM, their words fade into the ether, and the memory of their eloquence evaporates like mist. By 5:00 AM, they are but silent sentinels once again, and with the first light of dawn, they vanish, leaving behind just a hint of their presence in photos they've graced. Legend now has it that Gertrude and Pete are the guardians of good fortune at Bloc Galleries. They watch over the collections, ensuring each piece carries with it a sprinkle of their mystical charm. For those who happen upon their image nestled within the listings, take it as a sign: the cats approve, and so may luck favor your bids. They admire the pretty pictures and revel in the grand tales spun by the currencies of old, and in their peculiar way, they extend their good will to all our customers, whispering of fortunes yet to come. If you win this auction and send us a message about the felines will send a special gift from Pete. He always has a great eye
