<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RickieB, post: 1900485, member: 2486&quot;]Yes, this is a 17a</p><p>In Hessler&#039;s Reference the 17a does have NBC and ABC&nbsp; logos at the bottom of the Note as this one does. The Monogram is where gsalexan indicates.</p><p>The&nbsp; word &quot;Series&quot; of the&nbsp; Note is in the upper left first third of the note area, to the right of S.P. Chase portrait and from what I see it is 26 (however very worn) or what appears to be 26 w/o seeing it with a glass. The 17a has Series numbers listed from 1-166</p><p>There were ~17,033,000 notes printed of this Series</p><p>Salmon P. Chase&#039;s Portrait was painted by Henry Ulke and the engraving was done by Joseph P. Ourdan.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fr# 17 and 16a are much rarer than the other Fr&#039;s 17a and Fr 16.</p><p>All varieties bear an Act Date of July 11, 1862</p><p><br /></p><p>These notes were printed on very thin Banknote Paper that lacked any silk threads or other security devices and often contain edge splits. Therefore Gem notes must be listed w/o edge splits. In 2004 Martin Gengerke recorded ~878 notes of this type.</p><p>The last reported rate of survival is ~ 1 note for every 20,000 printed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Numbers is also correct on his statement on Plate positions as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
