I have never filled out one of these so I am not sure how to fill them out. Also since I am not a real note collector I am not familiar with what those specific terms mean except for the serial number and I would guess they would want the whole thing but it could possibly work with the last 4-6 numbers but I know this is of no real help to you but did want to at least give a response to let you know the post has been seen and I will try to find the answer for you if someone doesn't answer it for you soon

I am not completely sure what most of those are with the exception of the friedberg #. It is as catalog number used to identify U.S notes. Based on your post, your 2 notes will have a FR # between 114-122. We would need the signatures to determine which one it is. I just looked at the form and it looks like you will be able to fit the serial # in the space provided. I just tried typing a long random series of numbers and letters and it fit with no problem.

serial: sometimes boxes are too small, but it scrolls to fit.

If your Two 1901 Bison notes are in decent condition (no tears, writing, etc.) I would recommend that you send them to either PCGS or PMG as most auction houses do not accept CGA certified notes in their auctions... It does cost more, but when your ready to sell I believe you'll recover your certification fees... I have nothing against CGA and do own CGA certified currency, but the market is what it is (like PCGS & NGC coins receive higher prices then other TPG services)... |

I don't own any TPG currency but have looked at bunches of it. In my experience if it's all about the money you fold up and put in your pocket go with PCGS, from what I've seen they will grade it higher than most anyone else. The higher the grade the more money in your pocket. Of course that's only if the buyer does not know how to grade. Please don't forget that all TPG's can and do make mistakes, some more so than others. Sometimes it may be in your favor, sometimes not. If your interested in what the grade really is go with PMG or CGA, either one seems to know how to grade currency correctly and from what I've seem make a lot less mistakes than PCGS as to what the grade really is, not what it apparently may or may not be. BTW, I've been looking at different currency auction houses and so far have not found any that will not accept CGA certified notes in their auctions, but Broken-Coin may know the ones that wont allow them, maybe he will let all of us know which ones they are.

It means the bison is dressed up for Halloween.  |

A mule on a coin is a set of dies that were not intended to be used together. The reverse is not correct for the Obv I assume the same goes for Notes.
