barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5841 Posts	Posted 04/22/2016 9:42 pm I picked up a decent $20 Series 1914 Federal Reserve Note with a red seal today at a coin show. I've been looking for one of these I could afford for awhile now, and it completes my "affordable" set of 1914 red seals. I suppose it's possible I might someday pick up a $50 and a $100 red seal, but those are awfully pricey, so for now, here is what I have: Expanded Digital U.S. Type Set Album \| Dansco 8100 (Lincon Cents) Album \| Digital Proof Type Set \| Digital U.S. Currency Type Set \| Foreign Bullion Coins Report this Post to the Staff

SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 04/24/2016 06:48 am Nice grouping @barryg. One of my favorite series because of the beautiful vignettes on the backs. The change made later for the series 1918 Blue seals include the $1 with the spread eagle, and the $2 with the mighty battleship and moving the portraits to the left side of the front of the notes. The backs of these notes has always been the "money shot". Report this Post to the Staff

I really wish I could own a set that was all as nice as the $5, but that's life...

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/24/2016 5:04 pm Of interest, Chambliss and Hessler state that the reason for the quick switch to blue ink was that blue inks were less subject to fading and to running if wet. This is apparently the same reason for the short issue of Series 1902 Red Seal National Bank Notes. Edited by Coinfrog 04/24/2016 5:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/24/2016 5:13 pm PS - This begs the question, of course, why the printing of US Notes (all with red seals) went merrily on! Report this Post to the Staff
barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5841 Posts	Posted 04/24/2016 9:11 pm Thank you for that info, Coinfrog! I always wondered why they made the switch midstream like that, and now I know. The Series 1914 really is my favorite series next to the Educational Note series. I now have the $5, $10, $20, $50 an $100 in blue seal and the $5, $10 and $20 in red seal. As I mentioned earlier, that is probably where I will stop, but I'm very happy to have them.

CollectorKing Valued Member 262 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 5:58 pm The iPhone just doesn't like close-ups. I don't like using my phone for pictures because it makes the note look so much worse then it is, and that really isn't fair to Mr. Lincoln.. lol (I gotta get a copier) Report this Post to the Staff
