Census Project - Early Small-Size Varieties - Need Help Empty Census Project - Early Small-Size Varieties - Need Help

Tue Aug 09, 2022 4:11 pm
[size=13]I recently started a major census project focusing on specific early small-size varieties. And by "start", I mean continuing 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 looking for some of these.  And some others I have yet to begin, but will be soon.

This is where I need your help...

If you have any of the following early small-size variety notes 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):

1928 series D-A Block (not 1928A or 1928B)
1928F Narrow Stars (BP #2007-2066)
1928F Wide II Stars (BP #2067-2096)

$5 Silver Certs (1934x Series):
1934A w/ FP #307 (found in K-A block only + Stars)
1934A North Africa w/ FP #307 (K-A block + Stars)
1934B M-A Block

$10 Silver Certs (1934x Series):
1934A Mules (found with BP #404, 523, 553, 578)
1934A w/ FP #86
1934A North Africa w/ FP #86
1934A w/ FP #87

$5 FRN (1934x Series):
1934B New York - FP #212 Engraving Error (found in B-B block only + Stars)
1934C New York Narrow Face - FP #298-303 only - (found in B-C block only + Stars)

$10 FRN (1934C Series):
1934C Kansas City - Narrow Face - FP #86-89 only - (found in J-A block only + Stars)

$20 FRN (1934x Series):
1934 Series w/ BP #204
1934A w/ BP #204
1934B w/ BP #204
1934C w/ BP #204

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.

In terms of star notes, here is what I have for the $5 and $10 FRN ranges.

1934B B star 212

The note above is unique !

1934C B star Narrow Face

I know they exist, but have none recorded.

$10 1934C J star NARROW

Thank you, sir!  I had the two $10 Narrow J-Star notes on my census, but I didn't have the $5 NY FPE #212 Star... much appreciated.  

This is the only $5 Narrow B-Star I have on my census, which was pulled from a PMF post from eight years ago. B03434322* with FP #299.

I am looking at this information again and realizing that I am in deep doo doo, in terms of assembling complete star sets.

So what I am seeing is the following:

1934B B star LFP 212: UNIQUE
1934C B star Narrow face: UNIQUE
1934C B star Narrow face mule: UNKNOWN

Thanks a heap !!

Colder weather and football season is headed to my neck of the woods.

I don't like football, so this is going to be the perfect time to do a MAJOR expansion on census data.

I also plan for more BEP data as well.

Keep your eyes open on my census. I think we can cross record each other's work, and expedite the process.
