Is this enough for a turned suffix / digit? Most I see go off as errors have at least had half of the digit or suffix turned / stuck. Does anyone have any thoughts / ideas? The reason I bring this up is cos the "zero" is slightly turned with "A" being turned more and touching the "C". No rips, tears, holes except the usual folds etc for a note of its age. Also does any one have the same note (Boston Fed) with the beginning and ending Alpha of "A" that you can post of pic so that I can see what it looks like. Thanks   Peace |

I am not sure, but I 'think' that I know what you are getting at Ceylon.
It is a very interesting thing about the 1934A $10 notes....and I am not speaking of just FRNs, but rather 'all' 1934A $10 notes, be they FRN, SC, N. Africa, or Hawaii.
The suffix letter....and it doesn't matter if the letter is an 'A' or a 'B' or anything else...the suffix letter will always (or maybe 'nearly' always) be raised above the preceding numbers.....
About 75%-80% of the time, this will occur on the upper right serial number (as on your note), and about 20%-25% of the time, this will occur on the lower left serial number, but it will always (or maybe 'nearly' always) occur in one or the other position.
So if your question is do you have an error, the answer is 'no'.

Yes, my reason for asking to see another note is to check the misalignment. I too have noticed it on other notes (34A). However I have not seen one such as this (right SN) touching another portion of the print.
It's just one of those odd ball things that adds a little bit of a coolness factor.

I think that you may find that on 1934A $10 notes, the upper right SN suffix touching "America" is more common than not. The oddball or 'rare' note will be the one that you find where this is 'not' the case, and the lower SN suffix is also not raised. I have yet to see one that isn't as your note is. Sort of like finding a Peace dollar with the word 'trust' spelled 'trvst'. |

Zee, This is a 34A - NY fed (forgot I had this one) second run (B). Am I to interpret then this one (NY Fed) is the odd ball? I still would like to see if any other member has one similar to mine (boston - fed , first run). Also I searched on ebay and did not find anything similar to mine (I am new at searching that site)  . It would also be interesting to find out what caused the misalignment in general from a historical / educational stand point. Peace |

I just checked ten notes of each FR district, ten each SC, Hawaii and N. Africa.
All SC, all Hawaii, all N. Africa, all Boston were as yours. The other FR districts turned out to be a mixed bag. Some were, some were not. The only district that I found without a raised suffix was New York.
So, I am mistaken then, there actually are quite a few FR notes to be found without the raised suffix. I have never delved into such a study before, but it looks to me as though the majority of 1934A $10 notes show raised suffixes.
