US $10 1914 FRN Large Fr.910 uncommon low number B998933B how rare is?

[perpetuummobile]

I have one banknote in worn condition.

Catalog number gives Fr.910 to it.

What is very uncommon: short 6-digit series, not 8, and ending with B, while usually it is A.

Anyone could comment this please?

there is nothing uncommon or special about that note...

the number is high, not low...

Here's a note similar to yours that I found with a Googly search. It has 7 digits in the serial number.

I believe after the BEP runs a 'batch' of notes  with the "A" suffix, it uses the "B" suffix for the next 'batch', or when they reach all 9's in the serial numbers.

So, they just do not put zeroes ahead of the low numbers of each suffix... This might mean there can be individual banknotes with 5, 4, 3, 2 and even 1 digit in series, right? Have You seen those?

I'm not 100% sure. The 1913 series $10 FRN had both red and blue seals. I saw a 5-digit red seal on the Internet yesterday. Modern notes have leading zeros from serial number 1, so that there's always 8 digits.

I found this 1st Annual Report of the Federal Reserve Board ending 1914. There's nothing mentioned about serial numbers, but other good stuff if you happen to enjoy reading this kind of material.
