Great Hawaii note, mikev50. You got me beat! (Go for the $5s and $10s in this series - they're the tough ones).  |

Of interest, these Hawaii brown seals were the only notes allowed in Hawaii after mid-August of 1942 (with some exceptions, probably high denominations), and this prohibition lasted until mid-October of 1944.

Good info Frog. My dad brought a couple of these home during the war. I kept one of them for many years before passing it off to my son.

Picked up this 1928 Cleveland $50 recently. I love the numericals, especially the high denominations. The black ink on the '28 FRNs always looks darker to me than on subsequent series.  |

Super note Mr Frog.
I also love the numericals....and Grant was such a ruggedly handsome President.

Stever - yes, there were a lot of craggy-looking Civil War generals, many of whom appear on large size notes. I recall he wasn't a particularly good president, but he sure deserved a shot at it.

If only looks and popularity made for good politicians. Oh wait, it makes for GREAT politicians but (usually) lousy for true leadership. [edit]: Sorry for the political nonsense. That IS a spectacular Grant. Is the "Mellon" signature the Mellon of Carnegie-Mellon? (I assume it's not of the "Back to School" Mellon  ) Edited by CelticKnot

Indeed, Andrew W. Mellon was a key figure in this well-known financial/industrial dynasty from Pennsylvania.

Just back from grading, a numismatic oddity to me. At first glance, no big deal, but check any detailed guide and you'll see that this particular block and printing location (FW) is valued 40 times that of the 1988A non-Web Atlanta star, with both having 12,800,000 printed. How do the numismatic gurus determine the values ? Must be supply and demand by block collectors because I have no other way of explaining it.  |

Odd indeed. I'm trying to fill in my $1 FRN set (one each of each series + stars) and it always befuddles me the delta in prices(value?) of blocks within the same series that have similar run #s.

How do the numismatic gurus determine the values ? Must be supply and demand by block collectors because I have no other way of explaining it. What did you get yourself into Steve !! My guess in value would be from the following stats; The Series 1988A $1 FRN is the only series that printed 4 Blocks in 3 different Varieties.. F-N Block - D/C Sheet = 10 Runs D/C Web = 3 Runs F/W Sheet = 2 Runs F-U Block D/C Sheet = 4 Runs D/C Web = 3 Runs F/W Sheet = 8 Runs G-P Block D/C Sheet = 7 Runs D/C Web = 2 Runs F/W Sheet = 6 Runs G-Q Block D/C Sheet = 7 Runs D/C Web = 1 Run F/W Sheet = 7 Runs Now you have to locate the D/C Sheet & Web to complete the 3-Note variety Set.. While I have no price info of these notes, you may want to check the series 1988A $1. L-C Block, as my Complex Block info shows only 1 run, the 15th Run, was printed at Fort Worth, and should be rarer then the 2 Run F-N Note you have.. Since I have both D/C errors from the G-P Block, I had posted a thread here a few or more years ago I was looking for a G-P Block F/W error (overprint on back or full wet ink transfer) to complete my 3-Note Set.. Now it's to late as the G-P Web error is in a 3-note PMG Holder.. Advise what the price is for the 88A L-C Block.. |

Advise what the price is for the 88A L-C Block.. The 88A L-C has an identical price estimate ($400-$500) in CH-CU as the F-N. The hardest to find, and most expensive, is the 1981 $1 J-D note. In Robert Azpiazu's guide the write up says; "Only 3,200,000 were issued and they were distributed only in rural Mississippi and Louisiana.  This is the checklist in the back of Bob's guide.  |
