Hi Claude,

While I do not have a catalogue that is current enough to contain the GE-* notes, I can tell you the following information:
- The GE-* notes were printed in September 2005
- The print run consisted of a total run of 2,560,000 notes (GE00000001* to GE02560000*)
- There were no other GE-* notes printed
- The last time Richmond had $50 star notes printed, it was Series 2004 and the print run consisted of 800,000 EE-* notes. These notes were recently priced at USD$150 in C.Unc.
- Also in Series 2004, Dallas had 3,200,000 EK-* notes printed and these were also catalogued at USD$150 in C.Unc.

I would suggest a cautious estimate for the GE-* notes at USD$100 in C.Unc. This estimate is of course pending confirmation with a current US paper money catalogue.

Hi,
    Thanks Brent for the help.
