1988A G-P Block Web Error + Serial Number Chart

Since learning how to chart serial numbers on FRN's (https://goccf.com/t/164141 ), I spent a good part of my time making some charts of what I believe to be the correct serial numbers on error notes that had been printed with the reverse side up when entering the COPE process.

Every serious collector of Web-Notes knows that this was a BEP 4+ year experiment that failed.

Since the Web-Press notes lack the Plate letter & Quadrant Number that is used on the sheet-fed notes, I had difficulty in locating serial numbers on the error notes.

This was until I learned about plate number locations of COPE vs. LEPE.

After learning this, and knowing that the web notes used the same overprinting equipment as the sheet fed notes, it became easy to convert the serials on the web notes to the COPE plate number locations.

â-ºINTERMISSION TIMEâ—„ (last thread post today)

When I first purchased this note raw on ebay from the lucky finder, I knew it was a rare note, just how rare I wasn't sure.

I then contacted Bob Kvederas and purchased a signed edition of "The Standard Handbook of $1 Web-fed Test Notes - series 1988A, 1993, 1995" by Bob Kvederas Jr. & Sr. (2nd edition - June 2004).

Now knowing this was the only G-P Block sheet with the overprint on reverse (sheet #94025 has a "inverted overprint"), and with the plate note photo on page 115 and my note, there were only 30 notes left in circulation to track down.

Wanting to start a population/condition census of this web error, I sent emails to numerous people ( CoinWorld included), inquiring how to go about locating the other notes from this sheet.

Sadly, I received no reply and pretty much gave up.

That was until now, and maybe with this new serial number chart below (that I think is 99% correct), and posted here on CCF, there just may be a chance to locate a few others.

With the serial numbers of both my note and the plate note, I calculated the serial number plate positions as E3 (mine) and A3 for the plate note, and since the skip number from both notes match up on the COPE chart, it was quite easy to skip-number the other 30 notes below.




Since I'm not always checking threads I post, ask anyone that has a note from this sheet to please message me after their reply so I can compare my chart below with both the serial numbers and plate positions I chose when making this chart.
