Well, errors aren't really my area, but I've seen a few solvent smears and this looks a lot like them. I have no idea how easy it'd be to fake...
It might be worth a little over face value just by virtue of being a "pretty crisp" 1993 $50. But the printing is perfectly normal, and the seal...
Exactly. :cool: What I want to know is, since when does the S&L book indicate which stars are the replacement-sheet printings? (And did they go...
All the redesigned notes are like that. The extra prefix letter corresponds to the series of the note; that way, serial numbers aren't reused...
Awww, shucks. 'Tweren't nothin'.... :o Thanks for the good reviews! :cool:
And even today, there's not a strict pattern of which notes are printed where. For the high-production denominations like the $1 and $20,...
Didn't we just have this conversation last week...? :cool:
Unfortunately it's more complicated than that.... In 1981 the high serial printed for circulation was still 99840000, and the uncut sheets used...
This *particular* note would probably sell for about $1, seeing as (a) it's circulated and (b) the entire B..C block was printed at Fort Worth,...
It would've been a completely different print run. The standard runs these days are 6,400,000 notes, so this run would've covered...
It's an offset transfer. Yes, it's an error, and it's worth a substantial premium; see here for another example (it's back-on-face instead of...
The BEP has an annoying habit of printing uncut sheets without telling anyone. Here's the data I've been able to collect on what's been sighted,...
The whole point of the 1934 series was that they *were* still redeemable in gold. When pre-1934 gold certificates were recalled, John Q. Citizen...
Interesting. It's normal for the BEP to have used leftover 1995 $2 stars as replacements during the next printing of the denomination, which was...
Not exactly. The 1964 regulation which legalised the holding of gold certificates specifically referred to U.S. gold certificates issued before...
Hey, do you happen to know if your source for that $2 had any other nearby serials? A good friend of mine was born on 01/11/1977....
Um...no. The A and the C are part of the plate position indicator, showing where these notes were located on their original sheets. Letters are...
This is often done to currency that's going to be loaded into an ATM. One strap will be marked at the left side, the next at the right side, and...
Nowadays, the highest serial number printed for circulation is 96000000 on $1's through $20's, 99200000 on $50's and $100's. The uncut sheets are...
Most general references don't cover Nationals in detail because there's just *too* much detail to be manageable. If you really want all the...
