I do know that the total number of SB's so far have reached about 15,000 or so. Naturally, a White House SB is more valuable as there were relatively fewer of them issued, but the early PSB's were 10k gold plated until the Nixon era, I think, so they're value is a bit higher than the more current ones. Hope this helps. Tom Carrier Worthologist Don – I haven’t been able to determine exactly how many White House SB’s were issued before the change in 1964 or how many were issued each year after that.
