Matched Pair B03261356* — Series 2013B Verified Duplicate Serial Number Now at Auction
A verified duplicate-serial-number matched pair bearing serial number B03261356* has been confirmed by Project 2013B and is now listed for public auction. This announcement provides certified images, grading details, provenance information, and registry documentation for collectors tracking verified Series 2013B discoveries.
Why This Matched Pair Is Significant
Series 2013 New York (B) star notes became the focus of widespread collector interest following a Bureau of Engraving and Printing production error that resulted in duplicate serial numbers being printed at both the Washington, DC and Fort Worth, Texas printing facilities. Because identical serial numbers were produced at two separate facilities, matching notes from the two print runs can exist with the same serial number, creating the possibility of reuniting a complete matched pair.
Confirmed matched pairs remain exceptionally scarce because both notes bearing the same serial number must survive circulation, be discovered by collectors, and ultimately be connected through registry records. As awareness of the printing error has grown, verified matched pairs have become highly sought-after collectibles among currency specialists, error-note collectors, and modern numismatic enthusiasts. Similar verified matched pairs have realized prices ranging from hundreds to several thousand dollars at auction, depending on grade, rarity, and collector demand.
Since October 2021, Project 2013B has collected more than 90,000 submitted serial numbers and maintains the world's largest registry dedicated to Series 2013 duplicate serial number matched pairs. Each newly submitted serial number is automatically compared against the registry to identify potential matches between the Washington, DC and Fort Worth printings.
A matched pair is officially confirmed only after the owners of both notes independently provide photographic proof of ownership. These submissions verify that matching notes bearing the same serial number have survived circulation and remain in collectors' hands. Because ownership is verified separately, confirmation of a matched pair does not require the notes to be physically reunited or photographed together.
Once verified, the matched pair is permanently documented within the Project 2013B Registry and added to the public list of confirmed matched pairs. In many cases, owners choose to collaborate and offer their reunited pair at public auction, allowing collectors to compete for a documented example of this modern printing error. In other instances, one owner may acquire the counterpart note directly, privately reuniting the pair under a single owner outside the auction market.

Verified duplicate serial number matched pair B03261356* is now available at public auction through GreatCollections. This confirmed Series 2013B discovery includes certified grades, provenance documentation, registry verification, and images of both notes from the Washington, DC and Fort Worth production runs.
