I got these 1950c notes at my local bank today. While taking a closer look they could be considered Birthday/Anniversary notes too.  |

Check population, well, Mox probably will. Very in the run cycle, so would think it commands a premium, just how much...? Look in very good condition, series 1950 C may mean something as well. Interesting circulation find!

I have seen "Birthyear" notes, with just the year shown, and "Birthday" notes with an exact day/month/year, but have not seen an in between note.
Nice find at face value.

For sure. Monster print run of 120 million, highest of any district by a factor of 2.

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.
