    THE COLLECTORS SOCIETY - HAS UPDATE THE NOTES SETS WITH THE ADDITION OF 2013 SERIES NOTES
    Over this past year The Collector Society has updated and corrected all of the Small Size Federal Reserve Notes sets and has added new notes to all of the denominations sets. But most of the work has been on the One Dollar notes sets with the addition of mules and back plate error notes along with the addition of the 2013 series notes printed by both the Washington DC and Forth Worth Facility. With the addition of the mules and the back plate error notes such as the 1974 FR #1908 with the 905 back plate error and the 1985 FR #1913 with the 129 back plate error were added to the One Dollar Federal Reserve Note - District Set with Stars and Varieties, this set now reflex the notes that are in the PMG graded notes within the population report. Also the Collectors Society have added and corrected the other sets and updated the scoring for the newly added star designation notes. Over this year (2016) you will see more changes to all of the Small Size Federal Reserve note sets. Also over the next two years we may see a change in the addition of a 2013A notes with a change of the Treasure of the United State or the Secretary of the Treasury.
    Take a look at this Set Type: $1 Federal Reserve Note - District Set with Stars and Varieties, you will see the latest addition to the set. Within this district master set, there are 282 PMG-66E, 116 PMG-67E and 13 PMG-68E. Also within this set there are 42 RARE notes with a score ranging from 250 to 2500 points and three notes with a PMG-66 EPQ* star designation. Also only 48 out of 620 notes were purchase from a coin or currency dealer in a PMG holder, all other were from bank notes or from various current dealers and were sent in to PMG for grading. The remaining 4% or twenty two notes will be the hardest to fine graded or ungraded. The first change will be the addition of three new 2013 FR #3001-H, FR #3002-A and FR #3002-F* star. It had taken four year to build this One Dollar Master set and my take another four more to complete this set. Within the three One Dollar District Sets there is a total of 1,021 graded notes. Over the last seven years I have added a total of 1,946 notes, of that 1,941 notes are within all the sets.
    This has been a very good year for the Small Size Federal Reserve notes and 2016 will be better.
    Updated January 20, 2016 - The Journal Entry should be used to inform the members of the Collectors Society an add information to help the membership and share your notes and the love of the hobby. I have over the last six years to cover the Small Size Federal Reserve Notes and inform members of changes, upcoming notes and correction to the sets and help make correction to the scoring system, along with the addition of mules and back plate error notes. This series of small size notes will be with the American people for a lone time. As a collector I can not afford the price of sum of the large size notes or the gold series notes. This is away new members can start with notes from 1963 series to the present at a affordable price. The same way we all started with a penny collection or other US Mint coins.

    Over 2019 you will see this set type “One Dollar Federal Reserve Notes – District Set with Stars and Varieties” change as more new notes are added and with the correction of Mule and Back Plate Error, also the addition of the sheet notes and other BEP issue items. This year, I hope to see the scoring system be completed to remove all of the dual scoring system. Over the last year 2018, with all the changes added up to more than 15 note slots to the sets. You will also see the addition of more 2017 series notes to fill in the open slots as the notes are graded by PMG. 
    One of the sheet note that need to be added is the 2003 Fr #1928-J sheet note serial number J99910479A in a PMG-67E this should be listed a RARE note with only 14 graded to date and only 471,000 printed with the serial number range 99500801 thru 99971801.

    FIFTY ANNIVERSARY of SERIES of 1963 FRN
     
    This is the best time to start a new Small Size Federal Reserve Note set type collectionBuilding a New Set Type Collections;This is the best time to add an start a new Set Type collection of Small Size Federal Reserve Notes, with BEP changing over from the thirty two subject sheet to new fifty subject sheet for the ones, twos, fives, tens and twenty dollars notes. The 2013 series of notes is the FIFTY ANNIVERSARY of the series of 1963 FRN notes to replace the 1957B Silver Certificate notes. Also if you want to spend a little more money try the Fifty and Hunderd dollars notes. You can pick them up from your local bank; always ask the teller if they have any new money or notes, also checks with your local currency dealer. I have picked up stars and other notes from the bank that have graded out as high as PMG-68 EPQ. This will also help you with your grading of the notes, as to condition, margins or registration centering and no significant handing. You can see all the BEP notes that were printed by month, by going to www.uspapermoney.info for 2013 series one thru one hundred dollars notes. This is way to start from the bottom up of a collection set, starting with 2009 FW/DC and the new 2013 FW/DC series notes. This will keep the cost of the collection low, with only the cost of the notes at face valve plus the cost of grading and shipping them in to PMG using the bulk submssion level.Also take a look at one dollar Federal Reserve Note - District Set with Stars and Variesties. There are thirty-eight slots description for the 2009 Fr #1934 FW, Fr #3000 DC and 2013 Fr #3001 FW, Fr #3002 DC. I will add the new New York B2 star notes, they are in PMG for grading.Updated on July 2, 2015 - BEP had just added the following notes to 2013 DC notes, they are the Fr #3002-B, B star, Fr #3002-F, F star and the 2013 Fr #3001-G star and Fr #3001-L and L star.Updated on July 13, 2015 - I just pick up twenty new 2013 Fr #3001-L from by local B of A today, the notes will grade out as good as PMG-66 EPQ or better.Updated on August 16, 2015 - The new 2013 New York Fr #3002-B star notes came back from PMG and grade out at PMG-66 E for all three. The next One Dollar Notes are the 2013 Fr #3001-L FW that I pick up at Bank of America and 2013 Fr #3002-B DC are set for grading. Both notes were added to all of the 2013 sets and the District Set with Stars and Varieties.To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

    Trump Disses "Harriet Tubman" reworked of the Twenty Dollars bills. The Secretary of Treasury Steve T. Mnuchin is correct when he says the reason for the delaying the long-planned reworked of the Twenty Dollars bill, is that he's got his hands full at this time is fighting counterfeiting. "The New York Times quoted senior Treasury officials as saying that  Mnuchin was worried that Trump might cancel the Tubman bill altogether, so he opted to avoid the inevitable outcry by delaying the release of the bill from next year to 2028". The release date was to be next year, on the 100th. anniversary of the constitutional amendment that acknowledge a woman's right to vote. The information above was in the LOS ANGELES TIME EDITORIAL section on Friday May 24, 2019 an on most of the TV news stations.
    As notes in May 2018 ADDING - ONES journal, as notes that the new twenty dollars note would not be issue as long as Trump is in office. This mean that for another eight years, the MINI hall of fame that is the nation's paper currency will continue to be exclusively WHITE and exclusively MALE.
    Added on June 6, 2019 - Why not the Native Americans on most of the existing currency, which is most part of the Western existing states. Is this the time to look at new redesigns of all the existing Currency series starting with the Twenty Dollars and then One Dollar thru the Hundred Dollars notes entering the twenty first century? Not just adding a Black or White women but also all the Native Americans, shut as  the American Indian, Eskimo, Hawaiian and the Mexicans American that were added with the area that Mexico ceded to the United States in 1848, the cession consisted of present-day U.S. state it's California, Nevada, Utah, most of Arizona, about half of New Mexico, about a quarter of Colorado and a small section of Wyoming. Also during this same time add Porto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Inlands. We have updated are flag with fifty states, why not the currency to cover all of the people. This could be part of new counterfeiting upgrade for both the front and back of the new small size Federal Reserve Notes series. The new currency could be infused the same way the Silver Certified were remove from circulation over a period of five or ten years.   
    Added on June 25, 2019 - "Statement from Bureau of Engraving and Printing Director Len Olijar, issue on June 14, 2019 - "The illustration published by the New York Times was a copy of an old Series note with the signatures of former officials, with a different image super-imposed on it. It   is not a new $20 note, as incorrectly stated by the New York Times, in any way, shape or form. The facsimile contained no security features or offset printing included on currency notes. There is nothing about that illustration that even begins to meet technical requirements for the next family of notes." You can see the full statement on BEP website.
