The following description of this issue is described as follows by Oakes and Schwartz: "After completion of the printing of Series 1969A, 13,000 sheets of Series 1969 without third printing were found. Rather than waste these sheets, the Bureau decided to overprint them as star notes. The production schedule called for star notes for Philadelphia, so the 13,000 sheets were assigned to this district. Serial numbers up to 05120000 had already been used for 1969A Philadelphia star notes, so the first serial number set up for this production was 05120001. This special run was not realized by collectors until 15 to 18 months after the notes had been issued, and locating even circulated examples of these high numbered, 1969 C-*s, has been very difficult." Scarce in any grade, this example which has garnered the desirable PPQ designation should see spirited bidding<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
