<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 1735267, member: 11668&quot;]There are a bunch of different minor varieties in the 1862 $10&#039;s, and it&#039;s only in the most recent editions that they&#039;ve all been given separate numbers....</p><p><br /></p><p>All notes in Series 1 through Series 25 have the series number to the right of the word &quot;Series&quot;, and all have the original seal with the solid-color background behind the shield.&nbsp; But there are five varieties of these notes.&nbsp; The 93c is the common/typical/&quot;normal&quot; variety printed in Series 1 through Series 25.&nbsp; It has the seal at center right, and it has a starburst at the bottom center.&nbsp; The scarcer varieties are:</p><p><br /></p><p>* 93a is the only variety that has the seal at upper right rather than center right.&nbsp; (It also has no starburst.)&nbsp; These are found only in Series 1, and were the first 70,000 or so notes printed.</p><p>* 93b has no starburst but is otherwise like 93c.&nbsp; (The starburst is missing because these notes were printed from leftover old 1861 Demand Note plates that had been modified for the 1862 series.)&nbsp; These are found in Series 1 through 9.</p><p>* 93e is just like 93b but with the &quot;30 June 1857&quot; patent date omitted in error.&nbsp; These are found in Series 5 through 7.</p><p>* 93f is just like 93c but with the &quot;30 June 1857&quot; patent date omitted in error.&nbsp; These have only been seen in Series 5.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then beginning with Series 26, the series number was moved *above* the word &quot;Series&quot;.&nbsp; That&#039;s variety 93d, which covers all of Series 26 and 27 and part of Series 28.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then the Treasury seal was modified partway through Series 28; the new version has a spoked background behind the shield rather than solid.&nbsp; That&#039;s variety 93-plain, which runs from the middle of Series 28 all the way through Series 63.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then the back design was modified with a reworded obligation.&nbsp; That&#039;s variety 94, which comes as New Series 1 through New Series 14.</p><p><br /></p><p>Got all that?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
