    not sure if it was a good idea. But I'm having trouble ID'ing it, I know its a 1914 series, New York Blue Seal. But in the book I have it lists three different varieties. Which one is this? any help would be great.

    This is the last variety, called either "variety c" or "type 4" depending upon whose book you're reading. It can be identified by the placement of the two seals, which are moved closer to the portrait than on all earlier varieties. Although not exactly rare, it's significantly less common than the "type 2" note that makes up the majority of the series.

    Not really, about $500 to $600 in 64-65 grade in recent auctions. Still a very nice example, though not really rare. FR#851 by the by...
