  1. The Small size complete Gold Cert registry set does not contain the BA block of the $10 Gold Cert, and this block is not found as required in any registry set.  Surely it should be in the Complete Gold Certificate here:

  2. Can you please add three Fr 1608 Exp notes  $1 Silver Certificate notes to the

    Set Name: $1 Silver Certificate Experimental Variety Set
     

    These notes were recently discovered in the BEP records and truly are experimentals that belong in the Experimental Note Set

    Stated another way, PMG is grading these as experimentals so they should be added to the Set

    Fr 1608 EXP  1935-A

    X00000001B – X00720000B

    Y00000001B – Y00720000B

    Z00000001B – Z00576000B

    The papers being tested were made from the following mixes of fibers:

    • XB control 75 percent linen cuttings and 25 percent cotton cuttings;

    • YB 50 percent linen cuttings and 50 percent cotton cuttings;

    • ZB 50 percent linen cuttings and 50 percent raw cotton fiber.

    The control was the normal paper composition in use for currency production at the time. Linen and cotton cuttings refer to scrap fiber obtained from textile mills whereas raw cotton fiber was fiber that had not been processed into thread.

     

    PMG is now grading these as Fr 1608 Exp, here is an example
