$1 FRN Series 1981-A and 1985 Back Plate 129 Errors

After posting my $1 FRN 1985 AA bp 129 error, I noticed that these notes are discussed in several threads, but not one focusing on this error. Here are some I have scanned. (At the present time I do not have my more common notes scanned.)



The most common block for the two Series:



1981-A - HB

1985 - FA



There are probably more Series 1981-A HB notes in CU then all others in CU combined. This would be considered the type note for a collector who would like one for their collection.



I also noticed my $1 FRN 1985 LA bp 129 is not from a run Robert Azpiazu has listed on his website.



It also appears that all 1985 bp 129 errors were printed using face plates 1, 2, 4, or 5.

    1981a I-B block too?

    I don't have RA's book and he didn't bring any to Tampa to sell, but my list shows I-B is possible, but it could be human error too

    Thank goodness non of those are 61's, or Jim would be after them :c)



    I know of an IB block, but they are rarer than heck.
  • Jim61Jim61 Posts: 986 ✭✭✭
    Yeah, you got that right! teehee

    But try as I might, it is darn difficult to get one of these with -61 serial due to the rotation of the BPs and the numbering of the serials. The stars have to align so to speak.
