Marty1102 Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 I’ve been reading a lot about mule notes and the front plate back plate numbers. New to this been collecting coins for a while, but not understanding what all of this means here’s some examples of what I have found, but I am not sure if they are mules or what due to my ignorance of these things. I appreciate any answers you can give me or any place I can do some research. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, there is not much interest in modern mule notes other than the macro / micro mules from '38-'53, series '34 & '35 silver certificates, and there are also mules starting with series '81 where the back plate numbers continue sequentially into a new series, mating an "old" back plate with a "new" face plate. I'm sure there are other ticky-tac mules as well but very few collect them. I don't know if your notes are mules notes but even if they were I highly suspect that due to their condition they would have zero collector value or premium over face. The "84" on the $20 is engraved on the printing plate and even if slightly misaligned passed BEP inspection and is not an error, also there would be many tens-of-thousands, maybe hundreds-of-thousands, of notes printed using that plate.
