Lyn Knight Currency Auctions will offer nearly 3,000 lots of U.S. and world paper money during the 36th annual International Paper Money Show June 7 to 10 in Memphis, Tenn.

Among the offerings will be the final part of the James W. “Billy” Key Collection of solid serial numbered notes, errors and type notes.

Knight offered the first part of the Key Collection in March 2012 during the Chicago Paper Money Expo.

In addition to solid serial numbered notes, the Key Collection also offers progressive and fancy numbered notes, radar and repeater notes, ladder serially numbered notes and other notes.

In addition, the auction will offer Colonial notes, fractional currency, odd-denomination obsolete notes, large- and small-size U.S. type notes, and a selection of world notes.

In addition, the June 10 session will feature the Dr. Greg Pineda Sale of Philippine Coins & Currency Collection, cataloged in its own catalog.

Lot 205 in the auction is a special set of 12 Series 1976 $2 Federal Reserve “short-snorter” notes, one each from all 12 Federal Reserve districts. The notes were autographed during the first IPMS in Memphis in 1976 and the lot will be offered during the auction to benefit Knight’s favorite charity, Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City, Mo.

The autographs represent a Who’s Who of the paper money hobby ­— some no longer alive but many still active in the hobby. Dealers and collectors signed the note that represented their home Federal Reserve district. The 12-note lot grades from choice to gem CU.
