factors, the web press was discontinued in July 1996. Identifying web notes A currency note that was printed on a web press (referred to as a web note) can be identified by two distinct characteristics. The following images illustrate the differences. The top note in each image is a web note; the bottom note is sheetfed. The red box indicates the faceplate number on a web note, which is near the bottom right corner, where the blue boxes indicate the faceplate number in the bottom right corner and a position indicator number in the upper left corner on a sheet-fed note. Also, on sheetfed notes, the plate numbers are preceded by a letter. On the web note, the backplate number is just to the side of TRUST in the motto IN GOD WE TRUST (red box). On the sheetfed note, the backplate number is to the lower right corner of the central white space (blue box). Web notes were made for three series of dollar bills. Key issues Of the series, Series 1988A bills hold the two key issues (issues with the most collector value). Notes of the New York FRB and the Atlanta FRB are the two keys. FRBNY used the B-L serial number block, while FRBA used a Star Note serial number block (F-*), with the specific serial numbers in place of the dash. While an accurate print run has never been disclosed by the BEP (as the figures were combined with the intaglio runs), estimates are 1,920,000 notes for the B-L serial number block for the FRBNY, and 640,000 for the F-* serial number block for FRBA. FRBNY B-L notes can fetch from $300 for circulated examples, to $1,300 for uncirculated examples. FRBA F-* notes can fetch from $600 for circulated examples, to $1250 for uncirculated examples. 1988A notes from other districts, and later series, are considerably less valuable.
