I've been working on puzzling out the print run structure of the $5's, $10's, and $20's in Series 1950A. At some point during the printing of this...
In the context of error notes, "bookends" are the normal notes with serial numbers before and after the error. An error note that comes with...
Just got a report today of 2009 $1's in the L..A block, Fort Worth printings, turning up in circulation in Florida. Looks like the $20's aren't...
The star is from a run of 1,280,000 notes, yes. While that's not a full run, it's not especially short. I think most people consider a "short...
Let's see here.... The last two runs of GL..* $10's were printed at the very end of the Series 2004A production. And the Series 2006 $10's have...
RickieB's note has printing alignment marks. On most of the 12-subject series, there's a mark between the C and D positions, and another between I...
Which run are they from? There are some vast differences in run size in that block.... Run 1: 128,000 notes (00000001-00128000) Run 2: 512,000...
As you'd expect from me, :rolleyes: this one's more about the serial number than the grade: [IMG] I think it's neat that the 1899 $1 SC is the...
Right. Basically, so many were hoarded that the value never increased nearly as much as people were expecting.... The 1969A and 1969C $1's had...
Full run of 3,200,000 notes, with a total of 6,912,000 printed for the district. Probably not going to be worth much of a premium any time soon....
Which is confusing, which is why when I listed out this series on the website I just listed the four versions of the district designations as...
I'm not entirely sure I've got all of this right, but I think it's the general idea: Mylar and its friends are actually rather hard plastics....
There is! :cool: The first Series 2009 $20's were printed in December. And they got into circulation *very* quickly, with reports coming in...
The 357-361-364 and 249-250-251 are the plate numbers. The new SOI presses use three plates in rotation, so a fresh batch of notes in consecutive...
Some of us nutty detail-obsessed collectors have recently been trying to pin down the print run structure of the special printings of $2's for the...
Series 1957 was the first to be printed on the new 32-subject presses. At first, the BEP only had a few of the new presses--not enough to handle...
That's not Wikipedia being confusing; that's the BEP being confusing. :D Series 1957 *was* the first series to have the motto. The 1935G and...
Frankly, this is not the sort of question I'd trust the TPGs to know anything about. Example: If you look at notes from the late '70s - early...
The series year changes when there's a "major" change to the design; for a "minor" change, only the series letter changes. What gets confusing is...
An extreme case: 1999 $1 San Francisco star: 19,840,000 printed 1999 $1 Philadelphia star: 13,760,000 printed 1999 $1 Minneapolis regular:...
