295 $1 Engraving Errors

You folks have seen me mention and even picture these before. I was very heavy into them and used to post everyone that I got on my website. Now I haven't worked on my site in years so if you see something on a link listed for sale please note it's NOT. Maybe again someday.

First I'd like to share a link from First City Currency that gives an idea to rarity of some of these notes.

Take a look at the other contributors. If you think about the names you may recognize one.

Now a quick refresher on what a 295 error is. These are notes printed at the Forth Worth facility for the 1995 series. The back plate number (which is always 295 on the errors) was the wrong size. Suposed to be 1.2 mm but was only 1.0 mm which is the size used on a note printed at the Washington, D.C. facility.

Now here's the list of my personal 295 errors. Haven't updated in years but over 2000 are listed here.

Rather dry reading and will probably bore the socks off of most of you. However, if you take a look and compare you will see that I have pulled notes out of circulation with a rarity index of 10. That is 0-4 known!
A good example is the L-X block run 3 with a face plate of 347. Actually I think there are three known but check the charts on my site for the heck of it.

Like I said, BORING reading to most but I'm quite proud of this collection and darn near every one was pulled from circulation. A good example of being able to get scarce notes at face if you know what you're looking for.
