The bottom left is the bank/sheet serial (NOT a printer's position number), top right is the treasury serial. Large size nationals issued before Sept 1925 had this type of serial numbering. Notes after Sept 1925 had the bank serial in the top right and bottom left. The Tampa note above was from the first sheet printed and is the 2nd note down (plate position B) on a sheet of 4. There was 3 other serial #1 Tampa notes floating around at one point.
PMG would label it with the bank serial (#1) and treasury serial (D894313E) both on the label.

Confused - you say first in your post that the top right is the Treasury serial number, then conclude that it is the bank serial number.
Clarify please.

Like others in the Educational series, the $1 was issued for only a few years before being replaced by the Black Eagle in 1899. There are only two signature combinations. with the Tillman/Morgan one here indicating it was printed in either 1896 or 1897.   |

Nice educational Mr. Frog. You just need to get it out of that awful CGA holder.

Agree. Only have about a dozen CGA notes left to cut and submit to PMG. I'd be grateful for a 65PQ on this, delirious with a 66. It is in an early first generation holder that's so thin that you can see the paper wave right through the plastic.

What a beautiful example. This is one of my favorite designs on American notes just from the fact it has the Constitution on it.

Other than cost, any reason to not just to just submit them all at once? Might they give you a break for bulk submission? Would 10 count as "bulk"?

I usually cut and submit around 10 CGAs every year, and I may get around to these in 2019. Partly laziness, but I also keep finding other notes to spend the dough on !

Same here. That, and picking the 10 candidates for submission.

Don't be shy about posting the CGA grades vis-a-vis the PMG grades. Kind of a grin and bear it while they are being regraded.

On First Gen large size note holders in particular, I expect at least a 1 if not 2 point lower grade on uncirculated notes, having bought them with that in mind to begin with. Anyone with experience can judge the margins and centering - it's whether a note is truly new and the paper quality original that matter. On later generation holders, the point spread and paper quality risk decline, to the point of almost nothing for today's small notes.
