Yes very much
If you like I or You and I think you should cut and paste the many emails together and post them here for others to learn from as well.
Before I purchase these, I think I will go to a local coin show and look at samples of both - then- I might try " ebay or if the prices at the coin show are good - I'll support my local dealers.
Just let me know if you want me to doe the cutting an pasting, but you did such a nice job of researching and providing information, I feel you should have the honour of the post.

Here is what Scoutjim came up with
Thank you good research

I hope you are able to post the two pictures you had

"I am trying first of all to determine the difference between the Series 1929 Federal reserve Bank note and the 1928 Federal reserve note.
As I am not yet experienced in Banknotes both look like National currency to me?"

Federal reserve Bank notes some are Large notes and some small, and are considered National currency and had a very limited issue. These notes are not considered obligations of the United States, but obligations to the specific federal reserve bank named on the face and were first authorized by congress Dec. 23 1913 where as modern notes were authorized by march 9 of 1933 also federal reserve bank notes have a brown seal.

fed reserve notes were REDEMABLE in GOLD but national currency (federal Reserve Bank notes could not be used for duties on Imports or payments on the public debt I think this paragraph is real key to the definition and also fed reserve banks had **governors*** not/// presidents/// so on these notes so were the pres signatures would be it blackened out with a black bar an instead of the number going up both sides they had4 letters printed in different areas

fed. res. notes have green seal and for the fed res. bank notes the brown seal was slightly larger than National currency and the words OR BY LIKE DEPOSIT OF OTHER SECURITIES is near the top
