1933 and 1933A $10 Silver Certificate Sheets

What do we think about the possible existence of a sheet of each of these rare notes. An article appeared earlier this year in PAPER MONEY, journal of the SPMC making the case for this possibility. A collector with connections made the request for five sheets, including these two. Correspondence indicated that at least some were pulled and at least one delivered to this collector. But what about the others?

    Is this the currency that was involved in a fire and they allegedly threw some of them out a window in D.C. ?

    No, those were $10,000 gold certificates that were never released to the public but used between banks for large transactions. They had been circulated, redeemed and cancelled. They were issued around 1900 or shortly after and I think that the fire was in the 1930s.

    No idea, but i've seen grades range from VG8 all the way to CU63. Always $7000 and up.

    I think that the number is somewhat over 100, maybe close to 150.

    Many were saved in CU but the centering tends to be poor on some of these.
