GoldFinger1969 Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 It's not a recent addition but it's something I bought pre-Covid when I was really active in the HA weeklies. I didn't know growing up there were different Seal colors except for the Silver Certificate Blue. Though sometimes the Light, Dark, and Normal Greens can be tough to differentiate. This one is clearly Light Green. I have to review what the different Greens stood for. Fenntucky Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they really stood for anything, just a change in the ink used. You can probably date the notes by the seal color. Awesome not GF. You picked out some notes with really good eye appeal.

It really was amazing how the low-60's bills almost always had uneven borders that really stood out. 65's and above were nice...if too expensive, I would drop down to the 58 range and take an "invisble" fold or crease or two over uneven borders (like my PMG-45 GC).

GoldFinger1969 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 (edited) Here's another LGS, I think this ran me just over $200. I had to go down to the 58 Grade (given the higher $50 denomination) or matching the 65 grade above would have cost me $750 or more: Edited March 17 by GoldFinger1969 Fenntucky Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldFinger1969 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 (edited) You know....I never really read the words and legalese on these notes, except maybe on the GCs and SCs. It really is interesting how the FRN "legal tender" language changed on these 1934's right after gold was removed from the economy. I have to track down some timeline that shows the changes in the legal (tender) wording on U.S. currency over the years and decades. Probably would be fascinating.

GoldFinger1969 Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 (edited) 1928 Silver Certificate: Pretty nice bill; there are about 2,600 which have been graded 65 or higher. Just over 7,000 in total graded. The note is also a double-quad....2 sets of 4 numbers in the serial number.

GoldFinger1969 Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 (edited) 1928 Silver Certificate: Like the one above, but this one's a 66. Only 139 graded higher, it's in the group of just over 1,000 that have the 66 grade. Edited June 5 by GoldFinger1969 Fenntucky Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mike...I like that the PMG site has the breakdowns by block. Pretty easy to access...I may go back and check the splits among some of my bills as I have nice grades and features but in "common" blocks....there are others with very few entries. With coins, you just have at most 3 mintmarks per year....with bills you can have a dozen or more blocks. Fenntucky Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some X(?) block numbers were used for testing or experimental runs to identify the notes, not this particular note though. I assume you're talking about the Population Report? PMG only lists notes that they've graded so it's only a snippet of what is potentially out there. GoldFinger1969 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like my Hawaian note.....in PMG-65 or above, they're not that rare in the aggregate but some blocs are much rarer than others. My $1 PMG-67 on the previous page is a "CC" bloc, will check totals later but I believe it's a pretty common one.

Some people do collect "Lucky" number notes, the numbers 2, 6, & 8 are considered lucky in Chinese culture I believe, and those are the numbers that people would be looking for. Personally I would consider this one a spender or I might hang on to it for a little while to play liars poker with.
