It depends on the condition of the note, such factors as folds, creases, staining, tears, separation, etc. and the signatures on the front of the note,
Send me the information and the serial number, or better yet, a good scan of front and back and I will help determine the current value and the proper identification "FR" number for you..
For several years I have been collecting the 1899 Black Eagle notes with the Lyons-Roberts signatures on the front and with the words "SERIES OF 1899" printed above the right side serial number.
If you have one for sale or just want a collectors opinion, contact me I will be more than glad to answer any questions or make you a reasonable offer,
I am well known and highly respected in the "1899 Black Eagle" collector community
FYI point of interest, the last Black Eagle printed, known to exist is FR-236 Speelman-White serial# X35615371A
If you found one higher, Let me know...
A large size MULE note definition is different than a small size MULE note definition
Several people have e-mailed me and inquired as to the definition of a Black Eagle Mule note (large size note) and why they are valued higher than a regular Eagle note. The Black Eagle MULE note has been defined as an original Bureau of Engraving and Printing error note.
It is considered an error because of the fact that the wrong rear plate was utilized in regards to a specific front plate during the printing process. This error was undetected for decades...
234 mule has Elliott-Burke front plate and White back plate 64 known
235 mule has Elliott-White front plate and Burke back plate 254 known
236 mule has Spellman-White front plate and Burke back plate 105 known
Only the FR-234, 235, 236 BlackEagles can be defined as Mules.
Mule notes are identified by the change in location of the rear plate number when White came into office. Just e-mail me for a more detailed definition. Thanks for the inquiry, and enjoy the benefits and profits of collecting.
