<p>[QUOTE=&quot;funkee, post: 1531508, member: 37925&quot;]The Gengerke census is probably the main source of data for all of the notes. I&#039;m not sure if Track &amp; Price licenses the Gengerke census to provide the tool, but I have a feeling it does. It wouldn&#039;t make sense to duplicate the efforts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Notes from major auctions will often make it into a census. Even some auctions from eBay make it as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were you, I&#039;d rather keep this note unknown. As more notes become known to the market, the value goes down. Consider Fr. 237, 1923 $1 Silver Certificate. The Speelman/White signature combination, of which 14,720 notes are known, will bring around $150 on the market in Unc-63 condition, based on the auction records I see. Then we have Fr. 238, same note but with Woods/White combination, of which 5,583 notes are known, seems to bring around $170 for the same Unc-63 condition. Meanwhile Fr. 239, same note but Woods/Tate combination, with only 428 known, brings between $600 and $1000 in Unc-63.</p><p><br /></p><p>With that in mind, I wonder if it would be profitable to buy all known notes of a series, and destroy all but one. Will the value of that one note exceed the cost of purchasing all the others? Perhaps![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
