On this MPC, the omission of a suffix letter designates it as a replacement note. Regular notes had both a prefix and suffix letter.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm not a military note collector, but did find it curious and now I know. So, instead of a star, they just leave the suffix off. Interesting.

Yes, there is no suffix at the end, I have this note in a couple different grades 67PPQ
And just picked this one up not to long ago
in 53PPQ the quality of the note actually
is not much different however the price is
that’s why I like the A/U grades so much.

 

Kind of like a star note? I know nothing about these.

 

Yes, a star note is also referred to as a replacement note.

 

You will find for the most part that replacement (Mpc) grade lower then a VF30
Collectors routinely even go in to (Fine grades) when buying these A/U grades
in these and above are almost non existent.

 

I have quite a few from ww2 both US and British

 

There actually really cool there highly sought after !

 

I will try to take some pictures

 

Brilliant!!!!
As I said I must take photos of the currency/ notes I have.
I am tempted to actually sell them soon. ( this is not a advert ) But I will show them on my YouTube channel and post in the proper space.

 

Messed up the upload; let's try again

 

Awesome serial numbers Les.

 

I was oblivious to the serial numbers. Wow

 

This is my favorite MPC, not replacement but love the radar number
and for a $1 in a dealer "bargain box", what can I say?

 

I really like the colors of the 661 frac set lots of RED...LOL
