    Yours is a partial .
    Wet ink transfers happen when, in error, a sheet of currency paper does not enter the press, the inked printing plate will contact the impression cylinder. When the next and subsequent sheets enter the press, they receive both the intended printing on the correct side and an impression on the opposite side from the ink left on the cylinder.

    Any value to these, or just an interesting error?

    I would say between $10-$20 but its really what someone is willing to pay for it can you post pictures of the whole bill front and back? It looks nice and crisp.

    Yes it has value above the face of the bill. The value is determined by the condition of the bill and the amount of the transfer.

    The bill is nice but it has 2 small rips/creased center/and bottom right side crease with some wear still its worth more than a dollar.

    I see it now, you've got an excellent eye for detail! I've kept it because I thought it was interesting, and fun to share with others!
