Here are the As from Large Size National Bank notes The A on the Fall River Replacement ought to look like the 1903 and earlier examples which includes one Replacement note. It does not; it looks like a modern, stubby A that you find on rotary numbering machines introduced in 1903 and that makes it a hybrid replacement. The Ogden and Gilroy replacements are also hybrid replacements because of the stubby A.

Neat, maybe you can add timeframes to the Zimbabwean Ops???

I mentioned my Warren NB note with the rather high Y-block SN. You can see it in my signature set whose theme is notes on Warren, PA. This is the note's description:
Warren, PA The Warren NB Ch. # 4879 R.W. Mackay and F.E. Hertzel sigs PMG 25EPQ $10 1902 PB Fr. 629 SN 58693/Y576088 pp A/158 dtd. Feb. 23, 1913. Close to the last treasury SN for sheets of 4x$10s which was Y608545, numbered 26 August 1925.

I think you should only buy REAL currency. https://currency.ha.com/itm/miscellaneous/disney-dollars-5-1987-uncut-sheet-of-eighteen-rodgers-r-unl/a/3551-25844.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515
jk just my 'goofy' opinion.

PMG posted recently that they would be faster to mark shipments as received to give us worry warts some piece of mind. Received is what I call purgatory and PMG did not say your notes would get out of purgatory faster. I wish you luck! Why did you break that into 3 submissions and not just one submission of 15 notes??

Nice write up on your Ukrainian sets by PMG: https://www.pmgnotes.com/news/article/9040/PMG-Registry-News/ Well Done FM!

That is fantastic! Love it. Radars on the treasury SNs are tough to come by. I have a Green Bay $5 DB on The Citizens NB Ch. # (M)3884 Fr. 592 in PMG 35. These two would go nicely together :-)

I'll post my Series 1902 DB Milwaukee (2715) replacement--it's in QC now, so I ought to have a grade this week!! It will be here
as well as in a signature set on replacements. NOTE: There's a nice Milwaukee radar already in my Wisconsin Type set on Charter 6853. I've bid on a few notes from Racine--never won any. Thanks for sharing!

I created a signature set for my national bank notes that are replacements. The Atlanta $20 is there now in a PMG 25 holder. It sports non-standard C's in the serial number, diagnostic for type 1 replacements. The SN also displays the typical rubber-stamped appearance.
You'll also find my PMG-graded large size NBN and a Fr. 228R 1899 $1 Silver Certificate Note Pre-Star Replacement PMG 35 SN R15745419 pp C4968/2519.

Yes, Hampson and Clancy signed the Riverside, CA note. Riverside could also be in my set on notes with titles having something to do with water... I have a few creeks, bays, lakes, etc. in that set. lots of possibilities :-)

Well there's a neat cross over to the stamp collectors of the world! I've got my perf. guage ready. What should I be looking for? Did you get AU 55s because of the centering?

PMG finally graded my bulk submission from last July. The $5 plain back on Ch. 252 made 30EPQ. It's here: https://www.pmgnotes.com/certlookup/8075269-007/30/

23 Dec. and my notes just moved into Grading. Maybe I'll have grades before the New Year and if the Post Office cooperates I might see my notes again before Inauguration Day. I see PMG updated their turnaround times for Bulk submissions to 82 days from 62 days. I wish I had mine graded in 82 days. Might as well go with 6 months if you're lucky as a turn around time. They did let me add a variety plus to my $20 Atlanta Ty. 1 replacement note which I do appreciate. I got the charge on my credit card well before the notes moved out of purgatory (i.e. received). There are 7 radars and a repeater in there and I wonder if I'll get them noted on the holder. At least those don't cost extra.

Yes, natural leaf but I thought he also used mica flakes. Can't remember which was first or if they were used at the same time. I'll have to read up on it tonight.
Couldn't have been anything good if Ben wasn't holding it. I'm pretty sure I could hold a kite in one hand and a jug in the other. Hmmm, I better make sure.......
Here's an account of Franklin's experiment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_experiment. At the very bottom, you learn that from the 'electric fire' spirits may be kindled... so it was likely spirits to be used as part of the experiment.

Mica was used for anti-counterfeiting? Didn't Ben pioneer the use of a natural leaf as an anti-counterfeiting measure? I guess colored threads are more pliable and don't leave mica flakes in your pocket book.
I always wondered about the boy with the jug... just what's in the jug?

Nice before and after shots FM. I need to make something to shoot better pictures. Sometimes just improvising works. Check out the anti-counterfeiting threads in this paper produced in the mid 1870s... I held the camera and the note up to the window and my wife hit the button on the iPhone to take the image. Took two tries as Franklin had his eyes closed on the first shot. Red arrows point to a horizontal thread running the length of the note on this series of 1875 $10 National.

First week of November is gone and my bulk submission STILL hasn't moved out of received. I put the package in the mail in July. I'm hopeful I get the package by Thanksgiving now.

Yep, BEP reused the rolls for Caldwell, National Bank and even the "THE" (Texas is 6607 and NJ is 7131). Good eye. Looks like the Jersey plate got a little flourish between Caldwell and the tombstone.
Caldwell is a city in the states of OH, KS, ID, TX, & NJ with 13 different banks! Two are Small NBNs only. Surprisingly, NJ has the only Caldwell with just one National Bank.

Most folks start with a hometown note and it quickly gets out of control from there :-)
