120,520,000 million were printed which is a HUGE amount. So not a good thing if you're looking for something valuable. However, the B-I block is a better block for this 1950C New York district. Book says $50 in CH CU. So likely $20 to $25 each.

I'm assuming getting it graded would cost to much (honestly not positive though). Its a great find, enjoy.

As far as the linked ebay listing goes...he can ask whatever he wants. It does not mean anything though unless he finds someone to buy it. Search sold auctions to get a better idea on prices with actual recent transactions. |

Definitely not worth having graded.  |

Does your reference actually indicate pricing by block letters? I've only seen pricing guides that list by series & FRB. It would be great if your reference indicates price by series, FRB and block letters. There were 53,920,000 notes printed in the B-H block and 66,600,000 notes printed in the B-I block. Is this why you're saying the B-I block is a better block? or is your pricing reference indicating a higher price for this block? |

I'm guessing the guide book is the SGSS (Schwartz/Lindquist)

That's the figure quoted for Ch. CU for the B-I block, yes.

It would be great if your reference indicates price by series, FRB and block letters. If you are a small-size paper money collector then the Schwartz/Lindquist book is a must have. It will break down each district by block and display how many were printed for each block. However, for some select blocks it will only show the total amount printed across all blocks. Quote:

For some reason, even though B-I block has a higher print amount, it is slightly more valuable than the B-H block. Of course this is a reference book and it only gives rough estimates to go by. So in all reality, the B-H and B-I block is probably pretty close in value on the market. |

Agree. Relative printing numbers are not always a good guide to value.

When it comes to paper, I pretty much just collect $1 and $2 small size currency, so I'll check this reference out as the references I currently have don't break anything out by block letter. Edit: The provided Amazon link is to the 10th edition w/ a copyright of 2011. Is this the latest edition? I checked the Krause Publications website, and the book is no longer listed for purchase. A 6 year hiatus seems like a long time for any pricing information in the reference to still be close to accurate. Edited by BadDog

Yes, 11th edition is the "newest". While it may not be all that accurate on pricing, the printing data still remains the same. Again, pricing is just relative, even though it's six years old, and they have to give some sort of ballpark figure in the book -- The higher figures may indicate a tougher block.

Wheatback, thanks for the information.
I think I'll pass on this one. I have other sources that give printing totals by block and also more recent pricing information by FRB. I was really looking for something that would give current pricing information by block, for like CoinFrog said, you can't always go by printing totals to determine relative scarcity by block.
Too bad that Krause Publishing isn't keeping this one up to date, as it does look like a good reference book.

There is a wealth of information in Schwartz/Lindquist besides printing numbers and (no doubt) obsolete pricing. I use it every day, and for the nominal cost, it's a real bargain.
