My Large Size Brown Seal Collection

What's the difference between this and red seals? I remember seeing a red seal $1 and $2 with the same design...

those are beautiful notes, and to think I'm happy about the 1934E silver cert a teller held for me.

WOW.

The $10 Series 1880 was issued from Fr# 100 thru Fr#113 of these varities, Fr# 100 thru Fr#102 the initial Serial Number Block begins with the letter "Z". ALso the SN on these 3 notes are in RED while all other notes of the Series are in BLUE.

FR# 100 thru Fr#102 have Large Brown Seals and the backs of the
first 4 notes Fr# 100 thru Fr# 103 carry the logo of the Columbian Bank Note Company where as all other carry the Bereau of Engraving and Printing.

Of all the varities yes they carry the same vignettes, however it is the items above that distingush these red serial number notes from the others.
The symbol at the end of the serial number sequence is simply an ending indicator of that SN. I have researched extensively on the origin of these symbols and have identified 13 of them to exist with no information on their use except to end the SN sequence.

Large Brown Seals are highly sought after notes, Fr# 108 and 109 exist with Large Brown Seals as well, but with Blue Serial Numbers.

All notes of this Series have 2 horizontal silk threads running across the note on a horizontal plane, one is red and one is blue.

These were used as anti-counterfieting devices in the day!

BTW...the same hold true for the $1, $2,and $5 notes except the Fr# is different.
