Message:: [QUOTE="RickieB, post: 1614910, member: 2486"]Hunt1: The Letter is a "Paper Layout Position" and the Number is "Plate Number Position" Please see this link and my reply #9 in that Thread..this is the best answer I can provide for you. <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t125940/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t125940/">http://www.cointalk.com/t125940/</a> This is what I posted at that time; The 5th Issue 10 cent notes (all 3 varities) are ~ 50mm x 80 mm and have black ink faces as well as green backs.The notes have either a Red or Green Seal. The "Key's" in the seal are of 2 length's 5 mm long key and the 4 mm short key.The main design feature is William Merideth (Sec of Treasury) 1845-1849.The Note you posted is the 5mm "Long Key" with position (Paper Layout) "A" plate # 50 It is known that the 4mm short key issue had plate numbers ranging from 1-72 however, the BEP Plate Proofs did range from 1-90.The Gengerke collection at one time (or may still) contain an example with Plate #90. This is one of my favorite fractionals.. and I have all 3 varities in High Grade CHCU or Gem. RickieB Read more: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t125940/#ixzz2HugT1yPA" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t125940/#ixzz2HugT1yPA">http://www.cointalk.com/t125940/#ixzz2HugT1yPA</a>[/QUOTE]
