<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ARMTDAWG, post: 8277001, member: 136544&quot;]High Jersey magic man: Thanks for the reference to post #14. I have all three of Bob KV&#039;s books on web notes. I also have my own census on the web notes because of their book. I didn&#039;t trust the information or price guide so I did my own research. I would say it might be @ half right at best. I am look to add to my census &amp; solve a few questions along the way. I see reference to a census by Murray. I tried to see who he was &amp; his list of the top 50 web notes. All I gathered was the list he started many years ago as to track the top 50 notes that they thought were the rarest at that time. It was more of a club project I was told &amp; I don&#039;t think any SN#&#039;s were kept. I don&#039;t know that is true or not. Some of the auction sites will refer to his census as a certain numbers known so there must be a List. Bob KV in his last book gave part of a list on the F-* &amp; B-L notes known. I wonder what his full list is for all the other blocks,runs &amp; plate combinations? My findings on the F-* is there are at least 2000 mint state notes existing &amp; 71 circulated that I have tracked with SN# &amp; Condition/Grade. These are being released a very few only at a time. I don&#039;t see why the high prices except for supply &amp; demand. Just like the 1955 double die wheat penny. I think there are @ 25000 mint state of those &amp; expect to spend $2000.00 up for one. It is a big error. The B-L Note I see at least 700 mint state notes &amp; 129 circulated notes. Much rarer than the F-* but it&#039;s main problem is finding a well centered note. Top or right side usually has a very short margin. I know a guy here in Maine who had a full pack of 100 mint state notes in his safe. I was at a coin show with my friend who bought a coin &amp; in his change was a circulated B-L web note. He took it to another table who buys them &amp; sold it for $250.00. His friend asked him what just happened &amp; so was explained to him what a web note was. He is a coin dealer &amp; said he would have to check his safe at his shop. Later he let us know he had a full pack of the B-L. He started selling them at $400.00 each then $600. then $800. &amp; ended on $1400.00 each &amp; only sold @ half the pack &amp; put the rest away for his children. I don&#039;t know if he is still living this was many years ago &amp; he was @ 90 years old then but in great shape. My friend Larry now pasted started me on this quest on collecting them the KV books started my research on them. When Larry past I was able to buy @ 800 webs from his brother &amp; larry received all theses from a relative who worked at his bank who pulled them out of circulation for him around the turn of the century. I will cut short the chat for now. I don&#039;t know when to stop talking. Till later then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
