Natick Overprint Error Census For CCF Members - *my Revised Copy*

Now that my Natick Overprint Errors Census is complete, I revised the original assigned serial number charts to make it more compact, and a bit easier for others to understand.

I also dedicated it to CCF members as my way of thanking the owners for operating one of the better Numismatic Sites on the Net.

Instead of all 19 Sheets of Serial Numbers Charts grouped together on 2 @ 8x11 sheets, I changed it to two Serial Number Charts per page in hopes of making it more Printer Friendly for anyone that would like a personal copy for themselves.

Below is what my Laminated copy looks like. I added some additional Natick info for my copy, and will be interested is viewing other members copies & additions if posted.

Production Numbers don't lie, and while known Errors Specialist make claims that only 11 Overprint Errors are known in one ebay description, 9 in another, my in-depth analysis shows that a span of 19 Half Sheets (3rd & 4th Quadrants) have been printed on Natick Test Paper with.the Overprint on Back error.

This is a total of 304 Error Notes that had been released into circulation via 16 Original 100 Note Bank Packs, with each pack starting with COPE Plate Position A3 and ending with P/position H4.

Of the 16 Bank Packs, I show Serial Numbers from 13 of the packs have surfaced, meaning a minimum of 247 of the 304 have entered circulation. As for the other 57 Notes from the 3 Bank Packs still awaiting confirmation, I have deducted them until Confirmed.

My Error Notes Census's include all Confirmed Serial Number Errors & those Serials awaiting confirmation.

With census in hand, I was able to purchase 3 Certified Natick Overprint on Back Errors (1 @ PCGS & 2 @ PMG) that lacked the Natick Test Paper designation on the Holder's.

I strongly believe many more have been Certified and residing in collections without the Natick Test Paper designation.


These pictures have been in my CCF Draft folder for about 3 months now as I wait for an answer from the BEP on my FOIA Request.

I would like to keep this Census Results on this thread only, and ask anyone having Natick Test Paper Notes to post the photos here so everyone knows the true rarity, and place their own Value on the note.

When time permits, I will post comments here on why some of the Serial Numbers in both Sullivan's & Bart's Census starting with E7887xxxxH is incorrect and those numbers deleted in my Census. I will also give my opinion on what may of happened to 57 of the 304 Errors Printed.






















To keep this a true Census, let's post all Natick Overprint Errors HERE on this thread.

Fun Fact ~ I found it was quite easy to convert Currency Serial Number to the exact Plate Position and Sheet # of the Run it was printed in.
(If anyone is interested in doing this, I can start another thread).

*I will be posting my revised Web Error Census on the Foreign/Global Currency Forum to educate others outside our Boarders of rare higher valued USA errors (plus I have some great Foreign Error Notes to post also).
