Reverse Changeover Set Of 1928 Silver Certificates (+high Res Pic)

Now *that* is something! The first two notes don't really figure into the mix, but the last two are quite impressive. This is not my area of expertise, but what you have there is a changeover pair. That is, sequential serial numbers with a change in the series. Not only is it a changeover, but it is a *reverse* changeover: The series actually goes backwards from 1928-A to 1928. This occurred when a stack of newer $1 sheets was placed on top of an older run of sheets during the numbering process.

These are highly collectible, although I don't know enough to place a value on them. But they would definitely command a good price on auction.

If you can alter the thread title to include "Changeover" I think you will get more responses.

Here's another thread on this same topic:

Right, change your Title to "Reverse Changeover Pair". Quite remarkable.



to the CCF!

In the 1928 series $1 SCs, there were actually five different series of notes being printed at one point, 1928A through 1928E. This occured because A. there had been a sudden changeover in signatures, necessitating three new series in less than a year, and B. very little currency was actually being printed due to the Depression, so older plates wore out very slowly. These kinds of reverse changeover runs were seen until late in the Clark-Snyder era (in the early 50s). Thus, 1935D/1935E $1 silver certificate reverse changeovers do not exist, same with 1950/1950A for FRNs. The USNs and larger denomination SCs changed from the 1928 and 1934 series, respectively, during this time, and the serial numbers for the 1953 series of these notes did not carry over from the 1928/1934 series, so they are not listed.
