Uh, the microprinting was also new in Series 1990.... :rolleyes:
With these serial numbers, the notes might be either wide or narrow backs, but they'd have about the same value either way. They're all from the...
Guys, you're missing the point. How does the upper serial number move that far relative to the rest of the green overprint? The OP's note does...
Somebody scanned a $20 bill and printed it onto a $1 bill. These are often sold on Ebay and people who don't know better pay lots of money for...
The Coinage Act of 1965 didn't make anything legal to own that wasn't legal to own before. It made some things legal tender that weren't legal...
The BEP's sellouts, or lack thereof, have always seemed quite random. Look at the previous few years' $2 products, for example: 2008, 2011, and...
In order of production: 41b: Original seal. The background of the central circle, behind the shield, is solid red rather than spokes. Very few...
Yep. Judging by the plate positions, the Minneapolis and Kansas City runs appear to have been numbered from 20112001 to 20144000. Which means we...
No, because with the technology that existed in 1856, it was quite difficult to refine silver or gold to .999 fine. At that time, .999 fine...
The wonky capitalization in the mottoes on the reverse had me puzzled for a while, but I think I've got it: The large letters are Roman numerals,...
On the 12-note sheets, the alignment marks were generally located at the horizontal midline: between C and D, and between I and J. Some of the...
From a run of 2,560,000 notes. In other words, pretty common and unlikely to command a premium in well-worn condition. Wait, what? The 1981A...
It's been in the Mint's pricing grid for weeks. Assuming that the average price of gold for this week (Thursday through Wednesday) stays below...
But were they still rolling in individual design elements one at a time, as opposed to using a single master of the whole note design? I thought...
The paper expanded and shrunk multiple times, as it was dampened before each printing and dried afterwards. If you compare these two notes to...
It's just paper shrinkage. Remember, the paper was dampened before the back printing and then dried, and then dampened again before the face...
Folks, there's no need to guess...this information is in the Mint's pricing grid. Assuming the price of gold remains in its current band...
Nifty! Low and high observed serials on this mismatch are 36138136 and 36139980, only 1845 serials apart. All of the pictured notes fall within...
Thanks for the scans! :cool: The $1 sheet is a known printing, so at least *some* sheets from the same run were released to the public. (It was...
What are the serial numbers (first and last) on that sheet? I'd be very surprised if there was a printing that wasn't made available to the...
