1928 – 1963 United States Notes/Legal Tenders
Small-size legal tender notes were printed from 1928 to 1966. They are also sometimes referred to as United States Notes. They will have a red seal and an 8 digital serial number. As a type, most legal tender notes are very common. 1928 $1s are generally considered the rarest and will have the highest premium over face value. 1966A $100 red seals are the least common and are generally worth around 15% more than their regular 1966 counterparts. Due note that some 1928 series $2s and $5s can have a higher value than some others, it all depends on condition and series letter (1928D, 1928F, etc)
