Do 1934C Philadelphia $100s exist?

Jamericon

Can someone confirm for me that 1934C $100 Philadelphia FRNs exist?

I will do some digging.



Last serial for series 1934 / 1934A in the 1940's was C03420000A delivered July 29, 1944.



If any 1934C $100's exist, they would be in the C03420001A to C03780000A ranges, which were delivered between July 24, 1950 and January 17, 1951.



I am working crazy hours this week, and going hiking Sunday morning. I will do some resarch and get back to you asap.



Edit to add: The Taylor Collection, and Flynn Collection lacked an example, but S/L has them recorded. They are either A: VERY rare, or B: The S/L data is bad and they were never printed.

Thanks Jim.



The plate records show one press run for 1934B and 1934C $100 Philly faces in March 1947. On the press were three 1934B faces and one 1934C.

The serial data I provided show that the 1934C Philly $100's were mostly printed later in the serial number range.



Glad to help.

I have figured out the actual range of these notes, but I don't have the information readily available (buried in my office somewhere). Here is a scan of one of my two notes. The other is higher grade than the pictured note, but has some paperclip rust near the right serial number (maybe some day I'll get it removed).

1934-B note on the press at the same time as the 1934-C.

Here's the only certified CU 1934B Philly in existence.

Beautiful note!
