Title: Rarity of EOH notes
Post by: JB-2007 on November 03, 2008, 05:43:35 pm: Does anyone know why both EOH (Yellow, blue BPN) are so rare? I mean the yellow BPN is worth $225 in GEMUNC with 2,600,000 printed but the blue BPN had 7,400,000 printed yet its now priced at $775 in GEMUNC. Has there been any documentation on EOH notes. Are the blue BPN ones really that hard to find? I do own an EOH Yellow BPN but i have yet to find an EOH Blue BPN in decent shape.

In don't know how rare EOH blue plate is, but according to the price, it seems so...

Yes perhaps thats why they are expensive notes today being a "hidden" changeover prefix that is from yellow to blue BPN... who would have ever noticed that back in 1987?
