It shows where on the original 32-subject sheet the bill was located. The letter-number pair appears toward the upper left, on a $1 bill. The...
Holy old thread, Batman! :cool: The plate positions of the "2008", "2009", and "2010" D-suffix $2's indicate that they were all printed at the...
No, there's only one error here, a misaligned second print (face intaglio printing). The back printing, the serials and seals, and the cutting are...
Here's the text of the 1969 press release, as reprinted in the O'Donnell book.... TREASURY DEPARTMENT WASHINGTON, D.C. July 14, 1969 FOR...
That would be helpful, yes. Meanwhile, note that the images on the website you linked are Photoshopped anyway: there are bills of at least three...
Also, I can't speak to this particular set of notes, but typically the added design elements on notes like this are in the form of a sticker,...
It appears that several of the higher-numbered print runs have yet to leave the Federal Reserve Banks. I've been collecting the series by print...
This is a persistent urban legend, but it's quite far from the truth. High denominations were withdrawn simply because they were in low demand....
Why does anyone go to the trouble of faking anything? To make a profit off of ignorant buyers.... That said, I'm not sure whether this...
I've been thinking about putting together some nice printable PDF block checklists, based on the block lists on the website. I've worked up a few...
A "block" is the combination of letters at the start and end of the serial number. So a "block set" for the 1977A series would be a set of all the...
Yes, they detect the starch in the paper. The trouble is that the old 18-subject sheets (dated 1953 and earlier) were wet-printed, and there was...
Wouldn't be surprising. But it's also possible that the series was still in production when that edition was compiled. The Dallas stars, in...
Here's a website that breaks down all of the know series/block/run/plate combinations for the web notes, and gives value estimates in various...
Not even close. JFK first showed up on circulating coinage in 1964. Since then we've had Ike in 1971, Susan B. Anthony in 1979, Sacagawea in...
Just how bad is "really banged up"? For example, here's one being offered for $75; is yours as ugly as that one?
Hey, that's only six serials away from mine--I got #2654. By the way, I'm still trying to figure out the overall serial range for these sets so...
Notice that the serial number ends in 01, so this was the top note of its original pack of 100. The paper strap around the 100 notes would've...
What's really interesting is it's *not* the same note...but the serial number is only 167 away from that earlier note. I wonder if this means...
My guess would be "not soon". The BEP has now switched back to printing non-colorized Series 2006 $100's, and they wouldn't've done that if they...
Separate names with a comma.
