I got this note back in change the other day. The back looks worn like any other well circulated note but the front looks as if it went through the wash a few times. The ink is very light but it caught my attention because the serial number,treasury stamp and reserve stamp were bold like a new note. I went to ebay to find a similar note but found only one called a ghost note? has anyone seen this before or know the value?   07-04-2009, 03:57 PM   #2 (permalink) hontonai Registered Contrarian   Join Date: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,433 My Mood: Looks like the seal and serial number inks are not as susceptible to fading as the main image inks, so they remained strong after some washing, possibly with bleach. The back is faded too, just not as much as the front. __________________ Ethical conduct is being honest when no one is watching.   07-04-2009, 06:25 PM   #3 (permalink) PaperDog13 Member     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: USA Posts: 49 My Mood: i have never heard of this before how do you determine a ghost help please PD13   07-05-2009, 06:20 PM   #4 (permalink) Ripley Senior Member     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: California Posts: 770 My Mood: Blog Entries: 1 Yeah I have washed a few bucks in the washer and they looked like that.
