Message:: [QUOTE="kanga, post: 3596417, member: 9270"]Previously minor changes to the $1 small size notes were caused by changes in signature(s).Those changes were indicated by adding a letter to the series date. But the changes resulting in the 1935-A Series were different; they were design changes.The plate numbers on all notes were made larger.Plus the $1 changeover from Series 1935 to Series 1935-A also brought one additional tweak to the new designs. The notes of Series 1935 had carried the series designation twice, in opposite corners, and it had been engraved in the printing plates. But the notes of Series 1935-A instead had the series designation overprinted along with the signatures, in a somewhat larger font; and it appeared only once, close to the portrait on the right side of the note. This change meant that none of the series-specific portions of the $1 note design were engraved in the printing plates; thus, it eliminated the need for the BEP to create a new $1 master plate for every subsequent series.(Facts only a "notaphilist" could love <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) Anyway, 1935-A had a number of interesting issues.WWII and more testing resulted in 4. 1935-A Regular FRN<img src="http://www.dcderoo.com/1935_A-AgCert-o-40.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.dcderoo.com/1935_A-AgCert-r-40.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> And 1935-A had it's share of Mules (see previous posts if you don't know/remember Mules)<img src="http://www.dcderoo.com/1935_A-Mule-x-20.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.dcderoo.com/1935_A-Mule-o-40.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.dcderoo.com/1935_A-Mule-r-40.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> Wartime Provisional Issue - Hawaii<img src="http://www.dcderoo.com/1935_A-Hawaii-o-40.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.dcderoo.com/1935_A-Hawaii-r-40.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> Wartime Provisional Issue - North Africa<img src="http://www.dcderoo.com/1935_A-NorthAfrica-x-20.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.dcderoo.com/1935_A-NorthAfrica-o-40.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.dcderoo.com/1935_A-NorthAfrica-r-40.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> Durability Testing - Regular Paper (R & S Overprints)See Post 7a [/QUOTE]
