Previously minor changes to the $1 small size notes were caused by changes in signature(s). Those changes were indicated by adding a letter to the...
I would start with the business strikes and then include proofs if there are any. And I would buy the highest grades I could reasonably afford.
1935 was a busy Series for the BEP. Just because the two 1928 experimental paper issues produced no definitive results did that mean they gave up?...
I strongly suspect that it's highly unlikely that I would ever find a coin (or currency) in circulation that I'd submit for grading. In fact I...
As I mentioned earlier minor redesigns (generally one of the signatures) resulted in the Series Date remaining the same but a letter was added...

I have been working on a type collection of small size US $1 currency. It starts at 1928 issues and will go through the 1957 issues. So, except...
I did my birth year set, complete proofs and business strikes (MS/PF-65 or -66). And I gave my Bil and Sil each an MS-65 half dollar of their...
A spreadsheet (in my case, Excel).
Question. I would think the first step would be an acetone bath. That would get rid of oils, dirt, etc. That would leave the coin in the best...
I always connect "white rust" with zinc coins. Look at WWII low face value coins. I also connect it with aluminum coins. Zinc and aluminum are...
Late die state.
I've got 4 blue boxes. Don't use them much.
For less expensive coins I much prefer the cardboard 2x2's.
I've missed on two US 1796 dimes. The first was a nice looking VF-35 and just recently an XF-45. Unfortunately I haven't progressed to the "and...
