    SSFRN - DISTRICT SET with STARS and VARIETIES
     
    New Data and Update on $1 FRN District Master SetThis set may never be completed, do to the fact that eleven mule notes are not listed in the PMG population report and some are not listed in some of the major publications.

At this time PMG is working to correct most of the error within all the one dollar sets as they add the missing and the new 2009 and 2013FW notes. Also no 2013 Washington DC notes have been printed at this time and all the Fort Worth notes are printed on fifty notes sheet, at this time no 32 subject note have been printed.Take a look at the set, I have just added my first two Star Designation notes to this set a 2009 FR #1934-A and a 2009 FR #3000-D* star both notes are PMG-66 EPQ/*Updated 3/2/17 To add photo of 2009 Fr #3000-D* in PMG-66EPG Star.To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

    PMG REWORKED THE SCORING TO ADD THE STAR DESIGNATION
     
     
     
    We all woken to a big point lost on June 19, 2014The Society just updated all the small size FRN and other notes to add the STAR designation to the sets, they lower most of the existing note score by seven to ten points for each note, within all my sets this was a total lose of 8,742 points in my sets. I have a total of 1,556 notes within al my sets. The Society remove points for most of the existing notes, there are tens of thousands of existing notes. The score should be left the same and add points for new STAR designation. At this time there are no counts of STAR designation within the population report. They need to rethink this scorings to the system; the collector should not be penalized at this time for this new designation.You can see the changes by checking the HISTORY section, you will see the notes that were reduced on June 18, 2014, also you can open the slot description to see both the updated poins and the new points for the STAR designation.Updated on August 9, 2014, PMG added the STAR designation to the population report to show the number of star for each notes.New update on April 7,2015, the main change was the same point scoring in all sets.To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

    NEW 2013 JACK LEW $1 DOLLAR NOTE
    I have check the US Bureau Of Engraving and Printing (BEP) web-site and the new one dollar notes are in the printing stage, and will be printed on 32 subject note sheet and the 50 subject note sheet. BEP show the layout of the note position identifier on the upper lift hand side of the note next to the district number. As noted by BEP - Fifty-subject and 32-subject notes are distinguishable by one minor technical change. On a 50-subject produced note, the letter and number of the alpha numeric note-position identifier, is the same font size and smaller than the alpha letter of the 32-subject note. In comparison, on the 32-subject note, the number is a smaller font size compared to the letter.
     
     
     
     
     
    Updated 10/14/14, the following series notes have been printed A1, C3, D4, E5, F6, G7, J10, K11 and the K11 star notes, all are from Fort Worth and printed on the 50-subect-sheet formate sheet at this time.

All five series are in for grading, they will grade at 65E or better. The 2013 FR # 3001-K, two came back as as 65EPQ and one as a 66EPQ.

    FRN - HERITAGE AUCTIONS - LESSON LEARN
    As notes in my last jonrnal that I am down sizing my collections, with Heritage Auctions handling the sale of my small size notes collections of fives, tens, twenty, fifty and hundreds dollars small size notes sets, all of the notes are PMG graded. The auction is over and a lesson learn, make sure that you put a reserve on all you notes, that will cover the grading fees and a sale price with 15% of the book listed value. Most of the small size tens, twenty fifty and hundreds dollars notes were sold at face value or a net lost of 35% to 85% of net value listed in Standard Guide to Small Size U.S. Paper Money 10th Edition. Also using the green sheet makes no difference if a note is graded or not. The auction is a good place to sale your notes, but make sure that you make the final desision on the lowest sale price for a set of notes to be sold. I had two set that were sold below face value, seven 2009 $20 dollars notes that sold at $117.00 and four $50 dollars 1981 - 1985 notes that sold for $170.00. Also keep in mine to add a 10% seller commission to all sets or lots.
    Heritage Auctions is a good auction house for it layout of your collection, and the way they set up the lots within the catalog.
    I will use Heritage Auctions in the future to sale more of my collection, but I will set the price. I am a collector, not a dealer, 90% of the notes I had graded to build up the set, I LOVE the hobby, but I will not give-a-way my work, on building a good set of notes. I have over 875 notes that makeup my one and two dollors collection. I will keep building new set to my collection. I have 390 notes schedule for grading.
    Updated on 1/15/14, It good to see some of the notes going to collectors in the registry. I am removing the notes as they are tranfer to other collectors in the registry, to date I have remove 59 notes and 42,763 points from my total score.
