Census Project - $5 #637/#629 Mule Census - Need Help Empty Census Project - $5 #637/#629 Mule Census - Need Help

Mon Aug 08, 2022 10:21 pm
I recently started a major census project focusing on all small-size $5 Mules with LFBP #637 and #629, in addition to a few other tougher varieties.  And by "start", I mean to continue the efforts that Jamie Yakes began years ago.  He was kind enough to share all of the data that he had collected prior to putting it aside to focus on other areas of numismatics research, which gave me a great base to build on.  

I've already spent many, many hours digging through all of Heritage, Stacks Bowers, Lyn Knight, and a few other auction house archives, did various Google searches, and scavenged everything I could from eBay and other dealer websites.  I've also gone through a lot of PMF posts, such as the Mega Mule Mayhem thread, looking for additional notes that PMF members have posted.

This is where I need your help...

If you have any of the following small-size $5 Mule varieties in your collection, inventory, or you see them at shows, can you please either send scans of the front and back to me directly or post them here?  Or if you can't send pics (or don't want to for whatever reason), you can just send me the type, serial #, FP #, BP#, and condition for your notes. I can keep the source anonymous in my census if desired. There are the notes I am keeping a census on:


$5 Legal Tender (1928x Series) Mules:
1928B Mule Stars (micro BP #938 and lower)
1928C Mule Stars (micro BP #938 and lower)
1928C F-A Block Mules (micro BP #938 and lower)
1928C G-A Block Mules (all have BP #637)
1928D Mule & Mule Star notes (all have BP #637)
1928E Mule & Mule Star notes (all have BP #637 & #629)

$5 Silver Certs (1934x Series) Mules:
1934A H-A Block Mules (micro BP #938 and lower)
1934A BP #637 Mules (found in K-A & L-A blocks + Stars w/ #637)
1934B Mules & Mule Stars (all have BP #637)
1934C Mules & Mule Stars (all have BP #637; found in L-A, M-A, N-A, & P-A blocks)

$5 FRN (1934x Series) Mules:
1934 Non-Mules w/ BP #637 only
1934A Mules (all have BP #637)
1934B Mules (all have BP #637)
1934C Mules (all have BP #637 or BP #629)

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide in adding notes to my census.  The census data will be available to the numismatics community in the near(ish) future.  Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

Excellent, thanks!  I look forward to any help that you can provide.  

I saw the F-A Mule on the BST thread and already have it on my census.  It showed up on eBay a week or two ago and looks like it may have been given a bath since your photos were taken.  Census Project - $5 #637/#629 Mule Census - Need Help 1f621

I sold it to a forum member from PMF.

The note WAS a nice original VF25Q. This is unfortunate.

I will be reluctant to sell to him in the future.

I wouldn't sell anything to Mainejoe ever.  He's one of the biggest note doctorer's around and washes everything.  I will no longer sell him anything.

He has helped me move notes over the years, but I will not be selling uncertified material to him anymore. 

No collector wants blast white paper on a VF20 or 25 note.

I can only come up with three or four 1934B $5 SC star mules. 

I only have about eight 1934C star mules recorded, with one of those a BP 629. 

There should be 1934C Narrow Face mules as well, but I have not recorded any yet.
