US currency - Series 1914 Federal Reserve Note denomination set
Voting period ends on 27 Feb 2014  at 20:38:24 (UTC)

The Series of 1914 Federal Reserve Note was the first currency issued under the Federal Reserve Act (December 23, 1913) which established the Federal Reserve System and the 12 Federal Reserve Banks. The red seal notes were part of the initial printing and are scarcer than the later issued blue seal notes. The district seal on each note indicates the Federal Reserve Bank of issue. All notes are from the Smithsonian Institution collection.
 * Reason: High quality, high EV (greater EV viewed as a set). This set nomination is a complete Series 1914 denomination reference set of Federal Reserve Notes.

Original – A 10-note complete Series 1914 denomination reference set of Federal Reserve Notes.

 * Comment This strikes me as having questionable EV. It's only used as a set in a gallery, midway through a page littered with galleries (so much so that I would advocate removing some, like the Series 1914 district seals). They're very nice, but unless the article on Federal Reserve Notes is split into several articles based on series, I don't think that this, as a set, is going to be prominent enough. I am leaning oppose but will await a response. Sᴠᴇɴ Mᴀɴɢᴜᴀʀᴅ   Wha?  21:47, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Sven- I do understand your concern. This particular article posed real difficulty in trying to figure out how to make a complete set stand out given the clutter. I thought about trying to turn the whole article into a list, but Federal Reserve Notes are the most populous issue of all US currency and there is no way I could ever complete a comprehensive end product. I'm not sure the Series of 1914 has enough pizazz to warrant its own article. However, the series was continued with 4 more notes in 1918 (a $500, $1000, $5000, and $10000, all blue seal only) making these 14 types the only large-size Federal Reserve Notes. Would you recommend withdrawing pending creation of a short list/article devoted to these images? -- Godot13 (talk) 23:04, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd try and write an article. There are likely sources. I mean, have you seen how long coin articles can be? I doubt a national issue of "paper" currency would not get some attention. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:16, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Crisco 1492, just to clarify, are you suggesting that you will try writing an article or that I should? (I was reading the above as I should).-Godot13 (talk) 20:36, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * You. "(If I were you,) I would try"... I don't have access to sources like that. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:58, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * LOL! That's what I thought. I have a few things I'm currently working on so I'd like to either put this nomination on hold (for a while) or withdraw it with the intention of renominating down the road.-Godot13 (talk) 23:33, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn until a specific article can be written. - Godot13 (talk) 00:39, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
