    Haha, too funny. Here is my note.

    The last serial number for 1937 (when both of our notes were numbered) was D11868000A. From what I can tell, both notes were numbered sometime around April of 1937, making them vivid yellow green seals. Transitional yellow green seals turn up in the September through about mid November 1937 timeframe.

    I just noticed, your note is in PP L, and mine in PP G. It is possible that these are half sheets, with the other half of the sheet star notes.



    If that can be proven, there is a very strong possibility that our notes were printed April 5, 1937. D00084001* to D00096000* were also numbered that day. I will double check PP's on those notes, and if they are in A to F, my theory could be correct.



    Edit to add: I went through one of my spreadsheets. The April 5, 1937 printing does not show half sheets. However, the August 10, 1937 printing (D0096001* to D00108000*) shows half sheets.



    This makes it very likely that our notes were numbered August 10, 1937. I know of another 1934 DA note in the D118xxxxxA range, and it too is a LGS, probably numbered later in that month.
