$1 1935-A NORTH AFRICA STAR Fr. 2306* WWII Emergency Replacement SCARCE! PMG Ch Unc 64EPQ

A scarce replacement from America’s World War II emergency currency, this Series 1935-A $1 North Africa Silver Certificate, Fr. 2306*, combines historical significance with PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ preservation. The Exceptional Paper Quality designation recognizes original, unprocessed paper, adding to its appeal for collectors seeking a well-preserved wartime star note.

George Washington’s portrait and blue serial numbers accompany the distinctive yellow Treasury seal. Despite the 1935-A series date, these emergency notes were introduced beginning in 1942 for American forces serving overseas. The yellow seal allowed them to be readily identified and declared worthless if captured by enemy forces.

The star identifies a replacement for an imperfect note removed during production. With 281 star notes compared with 4,573 regular-issue examples in the reported population, the replacement variety is considerably less represented. This Choice Uncirculated EPQ example offers a compelling opportunity to acquire the scarcer variety with desirable paper quality and a direct connection to America’s wartime monetary history.
