<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 765637, member: 6986&quot;]I think there are two different questions here.&nbsp; The first question is: &quot;Why were there no Series 1963 $50.00 notes printed.&quot;&nbsp; The second question is: &quot;Why is the Series 1963 $50.00 note mentioned in the catalog since none were printed when other series that were not printed are not mentioned in the catalog?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The answer to the first question is that none were printed because none were ordered by the Federal Reserve.&nbsp; The BEP only prints what it is asked to print by the FED.&nbsp; If the FED did not need any because they had enough older series on hand, then they would not have ordered them.&nbsp; It is the same reason no $2.00 notes were printed between the 1976 Series and the 1995 Series.&nbsp; There were no Series 1963 $100.00 notes printed, either.&nbsp; That fact is noted in the catalog also.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the second question, I think only Schwartz or Lindquist can answer it with any authority.&nbsp; I suspect that there may have been some editorial reason for including the comment in an earlier edition (it is in my 7th edition) and it has remained ever since even though the need for it may no longer be evident.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In the 7th edition, the comment about the Series 1963 $50.00 notes is followed by a comment concerning the fact that star notes were printed in staggered runs beginning with Series 1963 so there may be star serial numbers higher than the number of notes printed.&nbsp; This same comment about the star notes appears in the listings for $100.00 notes also but it appears between Series 1974 and Series 1977 while mentioning Series 1963.&nbsp; This is obviously misplaced since the comment should appear prior to the listing for Series 1963A in the $100.00 notes.&nbsp; The point is that minor editorial mistakes are not unusual in paper money catalogs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
