Why not, and it will be a great reference.

57 hits, yet Radio silence. Doesn't appear to be on anyone's radar, so I won't bother.

If the replies could be anonymous, that might result in participation. Some collectors might not want others to know what exact notes they own.

I would do this for just star notes and rarer blocks, mostly from 1928 to 1934D This would give a better idea of what is rare what is not and what is perceived to be rare but really isn't. People could PM me numbers if that makes them more comfortable.

Well before I make another section I think it would be best to build it and collect it in a specific thread and then once we had a critical mass of data, look to incorporate that into its own category. I do intend to actually build out some showcases so I can show some examples of what my intention was for that section, but life keeps getting in the way... So, I certainly don't want to create something that will not ultimately move forward. If I cant get around to doing the showcase soon, it will likely be hidden until I do have time. That's just an example and FYI...

Thanks tigertrader. I am going to keep it reasonable. Notes with more than 50 known (with a few rare exceptions), I will just say 50+ known and not give specific data of serial numbers. My focus will be the $1 1928C, D, and E stars, 1928 and 34 series stars, and 1929 FRBN stars, as well as known rare blocks like 1928A DA, EA, HB, IB and JB, 1928B VA, WA, and XA, 1928C $1 CB, and JB, 1928D EB, and 1928E GB and JB.
