Once I discovered a replacement 1902 Plain Back, I realized that there should exist replacement 1882 Value Backs of the same style. An earlier look through the NBN Census (www.nbncensus.com) revealed exactly zero hits, but I did get lucky while searching through the Heritage archives (www.ha.com). There I found two replacements.
Like the 1902 Plain Backs, one of the replacements I found has the "hybrid" font with the old style 2 and 3, and a newer looking 4. The other one does not have a 4 in the serials, so it is hard to determine if it is of the old style or the hybrid style. I feel that we will find 1882 Value Backs with the old style 4. Here is the summary for Value Backs to date:
| Data through 8/31/2012 | $5 | $10 | $20 | $50 | $100 | Total |
| 82VB #1 Notes | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 82VB Not #1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| 82VB Total | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| Overall Total for All Types | 42 | 31 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 80 |
Next week is the final installment of our blog series. We'll wrap it up with some summary statistics.
