That's a great looking $10 Canadian note. It never ceases to amaze me how plain looking US currency is compared to many world notes  Still prefer the feel of our rag notes versus the polymer notes though  |

So do I. I meant for Canada on the vertical note, by the way.  |

Coinfrog, The vertical note format for Canada is new this year with that $10 note. But, all our notes will be in this format from now on as well. I find it rather refreshing as they did a superb job on the $10.  |

It's been awhile since visiting here and should be updating both Censuses in separate threads, the series 1977A $1 overprint on back printed on Natick Test Paper followed with overprint errors printed on Web notes from 1992 to 1996. After missing out on some nice Web error notes in Heritage Dec. 18th & 25th online auctions, I decided to register when viewing their Jan. 2019 Auctions. Here are the nine Web error notes I purchased from their Jan. 1st & 14th auctions. The Overprint Offset error is the first I've seen on a Web Note and the F70099532U Inverted Overprint error is currently unlisted in the new Web handbook and is new to my census, thus requiring a new 16 subject serial number sheet, the 15th sheet for the entire 1992 to 1996 Web Series. Since posting the last update on my Natick census here on CCF, I added a 20th sheet last December (for a total of 320 Overprint on back serial numbers) and added the 54th confirmed serial number from the 20 sheet span. I will be updating my copy of the 2018 Web handbook with pics of all my Web errors and include all known Web folding errors, SteveInTampa has a series 1993 printed fold and below are both series 1988A & 1995. Both series 1988A Web folding errors had been unknown to me until 6 weeks ago, I'm now curious how many more Web errors are out there ready to join the others I have.          |

Picked this up recently. Looks innocuous, but $50 FRNs from the 1934C Series are not seen very often. The St. Louis district had a fair print run of about 500K, but for some reason it is scarce to rare in higher grades, which is why I was surprised to see it. I would grade this as 64 overall, though I've seen the equivalent in 65 holders. Paper quality is good but it may have been book pressed. Still, I'm happy to own it.   |
