Low Print Run?

Currently collectors consider a run of 6.4 million notes (NON STAR) as a short run when other blocks have a full run of 96 mil.

Using your example IF instead of 32 mil they only printed 6.4 mil then that block (LS) would be considered low.

FWIW, I am keeping track of something off to the side but will not know anything for a few years (10 plus years) IF it would be considered low or not in the long run (too many variables to get into here).

Here is an interesting one a teller saved for me.

It's a 1981 $50 note Philly fed (CA Block). There was only 1.28 Million printed and is the lowest print run of a 50 going back to 60's. Only other note that had a similar run size was Atlanta in 74.

The 69B's which had run sizes ranging from 512K to 1.5 mil have premiums (cannot figure out the diff yet).

I have checked with some folks and have not heard back on the 81. The book I have lists them in the same bucket as the larger runs. Either way, I have decided to hang on to it as I do not know when I will ever run into a LOW print run like this.

Now if this was a $1 OR $5 note it would be selling for $150 and up.
