With a serial number ending in 001, this was the first note of a brick. It's not uncommon for the serials on such notes to get smudged a bit in...
Hmmm...actually, that's a good idea. Bits of it are here and here, but I guess I don't have a page that really goes into detail on all the math....
Those are actually a lot simpler to calculate, since the serialling system was quite different.... The sheets were cut in half vertically before...
Correct me if I'm wrong on my German, but I *think* it's worse than that.... I think "milliarde" means billion, not million...I think million in...
The large-size block alphabet is...strange. I've never seen an explanation of how they decided which letters to include and which to skip....
More specifically, the first 100,000,000 notes printed used this configuration. These are the "plain" block notes, with no letters at all in the...
You want serial data, we got serial data. :cool:
How old is that book, anyway? The print runs haven't been 20,000 sheets in decades, and the rule about star notes having the same district as the...
There's some confusion in terminology here. A "block" is all the notes with the same prefix and suffix letters; in your example there are some...
The $1's have wide and narrow backs, but the change was in the vertical dimension...there's less green space at the top and bottom of the back...
Apparently my grading skills still aren't the strongest, as unlike everyone else so far, I'd've rated the $2 *higher* than the $20: perhaps Fine...
The problem with "ladder" is that people apply it to all sorts of things, all of which are kinda-sorta similar to a perfect ladder like 12345678,...
Since you say you're into coins too, there's another historical connection here: Carter Glass is the only person ever to have had his signature on...
About those star notes.... Aw, shucks.... :o Glad you find it useful. And yes, it's too bad about mycurrencycollection.com vanishing the way...
You got it. I went ahead and started a new thread for it, though.... :cool:
Okay, you folks asked for it.... Here's how to calculate plate positions on modern U.S. notes. It's going to be math-heavy; don't say I didn't...
The $1 and $2 notes do not have any of the new security features. A 1976 $2 in circulated condition is probably worth $2, unless it's a star note...
Basically. ;) There weren't any serials skipped in these cases. But not all of the notes between your low and high examples would've been...
You just need to know how the currency is printed, and do a little math. Almost all large-size notes were printed in sheets of four, numbered...
Easy to tell: the serial number is a multiple of 4, but the plate position is C. Fake, fake, fake. :headbang:
Separate names with a comma.
