signal6271 Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Question; what does the "Ble" mean? I understand the the B portion but not the "le" portion. See the attached screenshot for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Jennifer F. Posted December 1, 2021 Administrator Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Good morning, Thanks for your message. On this particular note the "le" would stand for Limited Edition. For this particular FR number there was a 150th Anniversary set with a specific serial number range that were part of this limited edition group. If you have any other questions, please let us know. Thank you! Fenntucky Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be able to help now that I know what they are. Looks like the $2 all started with 2021 and were limited to a release of 10,000. Since the serial number is 8 digits that would limit the range to 20129999 - 20120000 (BA block). The $5 was similar in that the serial number started with 1862, that along with the release limit would close the range to 18629999 - 18620000 (J)GA block). I would assume they were printed on full sheets and then cut, but I can't say for sure. Those are my best guesses anyway. You can still buy the original sets online for under $40.

Yes, I did read some info at BEP, but there was not an in-depth explanation of the "le" notes. But your explanation seems to fit with the anniversary dates mentioned. Appreciate the info. Take care Thank you Edited December 2, 2021 by signal6271 Fenntucky Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
