I love this note! I decided to pick it up while the price was still realtively low. The only real problem is that one crease down the middle. It's not ripped and it has no other creases or folds. No pinholes, penmarks or anything like that. I just think it's cool - too bad the treasury and/or the fed won't bring back the $500 or $1000 bills. Oh well I got the scanner to work better this time. Let me know what you think! I don't think that the serial number is particularly low, but where can I find info like that? thanks.
Nice note! I'm seeing 56,628 printed. Looks to be light green seal and liss at $1150 in VF. Source of information is Standard Guide to Small-Size U.S. Paper Money 1928 to date By John Scwartz and Scott Linndquiist. I have the 7th edition but the 8th is now available.
that is a nice note. one you just dont see often. Would you mind filling us in on the finders fee i cant belive you got it for face
I would love to find one of those for face, but I don't think I have much of a chance getting it past the tellers and managers.
I am looking to add the 1934 and 1934A series to the NY collection. With notes in CHCU going now at 2000.00 plus, it will be a 4K investment to get what I want... I have a couple of others I would like to get first....but who knows... If you got that under 1K I would say it was a nice buy!! RickieB
Thanks RickieB and everyone else! I didn't get it for face but I paid less than $900 for it. I graded it AU 50 (and CGA agreed). It seems like the Boston district is one of the less common ones, so that's nice. Anyone know a site that discusses various print runs for obsolete high denominations like this?
i've only seen two of these around before. a dealer at a flea market was selling one for $850 a few years ago. definatly cool looking bills! :bow:
Error? What do you think about this error - the slightest overlap between the serial number and the signature of Julian?
that is ever so slight ... but, still an error. any less of an overlap, and there wiouldnt be an overlap lol
Is this sort of error not a big deal for older type notes? Was it more common when those older notes were being printed than today? Just curious. Thanks!
Extremely common, and not really an error. With the larger seals and taller serials, there just wasn't that much space to spare, and it doesn't seem that the BEP was really trying to avoid such small collisions. Look at the large-size notes from not too many years before--there are a number of designs that have serial numbers deliberately overlapping various other elements. Not until the smaller seals and serials were introduced in Series 1935 did this kind of thing become unusual.
I don't believe this is really considered an error. I have quite a few series 1934x notes where the serial overlaps a signature or design element. I personally would not consider this an error until the 1950 series or later where they intentionally shrank the serials and seals to prevent them from overlapping.
