Don C. Kelly has a pretty good selection of Kentucky notes, too. His prices on the 1929 notes from various banks range from $50 to $1750. Maybe...
Wait, what kind of note are we talking about here? If it's 1929 National Currency, with a brown seal, it won't say "payable in gold". If it...
In the 1928 series, they're the lowest and highest serial numbers that have been reported to the authors of the book. Back then, the series...
It seems like every series recently has had a few runs of star notes that show up in the BEP production reports but never appear in circulation....
Wow. Just wow. That is a binary radar star note, still in an uncut sheet. Usually the really good fancy serials have been cut out of the...
The JJ..* and JK..* did have lower printings, but they were released in packs, so more of them should make their way into the market in...
Right. And genuine shift errors do sometimes have the upper tips of the seals and district numbers showing in their correct locations like this;...
Might be a keeper. That print run was 1.28 million notes, but it was a sheet run--these weren't issued in the form of full star straps, so there...
Numbered on the old conventional presses, before COPE came along. Everything through Series 1969A is like this. Series 1969B to 1977 come both...
Lousy print quality on the Treasury seal. It's been an ongoing problem at the BEP, although they've gotten a lot better in the past few...
Exactly. Serial number 00000000 doesn't come before 00000001; it comes at the end of the block, after 99999999. Really it should be 100000000...
Yep. Also, this is the lowest serial I've heard of yet, beating out 06710926. (Highest I've seen is 06719949.)
Not sure where that number came from, but the BEP production report lists the run as EA06400001* - EA09600000*, a full run of 3.2 million notes....
The red overprint of the bank name must have been done privately, yes. The blue Treasury serial was normal for a while; the serialling of the...
They're a consistent interval apart (50,000, in this case); they're just arranged on the sheet in an odd pattern. The numbering goes by...
Not quite. Some stars are used in sheet form as you describe; other stars are cut and strapped and used as replacement packs. So if a defective...
Judging by the observed serials, it looks like 10,000 of these got out of the BEP (06710001 to 06720000). Mismatched serials are fairly uncommon,...
That was my first thought. Prior to the invention of star notes in 1910, all replacements were handled that way. But I thought these...
Actually, good guess--the "Out Of Stock" message is gone and the set appears to be available again. Wonder what that was about? :confused:
They don't have "2014" on the back. They've got perfectly normal $2 bill back designs. The folder they come in shows the border of an old...
Separate names with a comma.
