[QUOTE="lettow, post: 1277338, member: 6986"]Fr refers to the number assigned to this note in Paper Money of the United States by Arthur and Ira Friedberg. It is a comprehensive catalog of US paper money but does not contain all the varieties for some notes that you find listed in the more specialized Small Size book. pp B refers to Plate Position B. This type of silver certificate was printed in sheets of twelve (two columns of six notes). The plate positions refer to the position of the note on the sheet.

This is a term proprietary to this TPG. (PCGS uses PPQ for Premium Paper Quality). It refers to the fact that the condition of the paper is original and has not been doctored by cleaning, pressing, or otherwise damaged. One piece of advice. Get a Friedberg Catalog, a Krause-Lemke Standard Catalog of United States Paper Money , or a Hessler-Chambliss Comprehensive Catalog of United States Paper Money instead of the antiquated Hewitt-Donlon you have. The dealer notations are probably a code for the dealer's purchase price and perhaps an inventory number.[/QUOTE]
