[QUOTE="dursin, post: 558666, member: 17425"]I use the latest Comprehensive Catalog of US Paper Money which has the total printed figures for each note, but only has FR numbers for the large size. I pretty much agree with their decision to not use them for small size notes as they are sort of unnecessary. I agree that it's hard to go by 'number printed' alone as there are other factors which can determine how rare a note is today. For example, the 1933 $10 Silver Certificate was a fairly unique note which would have likely caused many collectors to put them aside when they were printed.

Rarity doesn't necessarily equate to cost however as the 1933 $10 SC's cost significantly more as the demand for them is higher. Anyway, it is an interesting subject and would be interesting to see what others might consider the rarest notes out there.
