Here's one for $13,450. By the way, if you look at the other star packs on that dealer's site, you'll notice that the premium isn't any...
Several different interesting things have been going on at the BEP lately, and in order to keep track of it all, I could use some help looking for...
This series had the signatures overprinted along with the seal and serials. Since the signatures are present, it's not a missing overprint....
Devil's advocate: True, but it's also wise for a relative newbie to start with smaller purchases. You don't want to spend $300 on one note unless...
Well, one of the main reasons why banknotes typically feature portraits is as an anti-counterfeiting measure. Humans are very good at recognizing...
Estimate I've seen is that about a quarter of all 235's are mules.

Plate letters on large-size Nationals are a bit weird. The plates were all four-subject, so a typical plate might have positions A-B-C-D. But...
Wow, great find! Ever since the first one was found, I've been waiting for more to turn up. It's interesting that both of the inverted-M notes...
The term "serial number" applies to both of them: the one at the right is the Treasury serial number, and the one at the left is the bank serial...
Looking at the image on the BEP website, the 2009 $2 in the set appears to be from the L..A block, which would make it part of the circulation...

That didn't affect their legal tender status; it just called them all in. Remember that "legal tender" is an entirely separate concept from...
Other way around. 1969 $20 (Elston-Kennedy) had 607 million printed. 1969A $20 (Kabis-Connally) had 366 million printed. Even scarcer is the...
