That was later, with the Coin Notes in the 1890s. Those were sort of a weird hybrid of gold and silver certificates--they were redeemable "in...
Before 1879, there was a big division between Gold Certificates and everything else. U.S. Notes and Nationals were not redeemable in gold, and...
More likely a Hawaii note. Those are brown seals, but they seem to get called "red" fairly often by non-collectors....
It's how Sheldon created the number designations, yes, but it didn't really work even back then. As Funkee points out, some coins (and notes) are...
If you mean the 1929 FRBNs, those star notes were handled exactly the same as the 1928 FRN star notes--preprinted with an independent sequence of...
Seeing that you've got a coin as your avatar...you are aware that currency isn't dated like coins, yes? The series date on currency only changes...
If you're enjoying this sort of thing, you might like this thread over on the Where's George forums, where we went entirely overboard calculating...
I'm very confused by some of the comments in this thread.... The bills that have to be re-inspected for errors before they can be issued are the...
Um...it's a repeater? Probably not going to add a ton of value to something that's already worth $100 face, but I'd think it'd at least carry...
I think you've got a few details crossed.... There was a lawsuit filed on behalf of blind users of currency, but the ruling in that suit didn't...
I'm confused by this statement. Series 1935A $1 stars notes don't come in "D" block; they barely get into the "B" block before the series changes...
But I don't think the OP has a misaligned overprint at all--he says "the entire bill is not off center". I think he's talking about what Funkee...
Nice. The print runs at the time were 640,000 notes, so your note is from the first run of 1957 $1's. I don't think that's going to make it...
I think maybe this, sort of. I can't find a good image of the printing of the black overprint, but on this page you can see the thing that...
As others have said, it's very easy to remove the red ink without affecting the black ink. However, the process usually discolors the back of the...
Right. Now that the Kodachrome design generation is complete (with the issue of the new $100), nothing else is going to be redesigned for quite a...
Always last on Federal Reserve Notes and Federal Reserve Bank Notes. Always first on everything else, including your silver certificate.
You have 100 notes of what, exactly? One of the tiny 32,500-note runs, or just 1999 $5 stars in general? The 1999 $5 BA..* was a full run of...
If I'm understanding the question correctly: Yes, a serial number like 12345678 would command a very strong premium. The surrounding...
No, this isn't the invert. The 'W' has slanted sides; the 'M' has vertical sides. On your note, both prefixes are 'W' with slanted sides; one is...
Separate names with a comma.
