another pick-up from one of my favorite eBay Saved Sellers

 

clayirving;

Not an understatement at all, but you have posted over time, more notes than any b&m dealership I have been in. Other than shows, I can only find small quantities of notes in my area coin shops. What an amazing collection you have.

 

I do it to keep you guys entertained. :biggrin:

Thanks for the compliment.

 

More "entertainment" in today's mail:



Unusual cut at the top:



I don't know how the Series 1976 $2 FRN "First Day of Issue" with the Eagle with Shield Stamp got a postmark of 04/12/1976 (One day before the issue).

 

With the Dallas Federal Reserve District Series 1976 $2 FRN First Day of Issue note with the 13-Star Flag over Independence Hall Stamp, I now have another district set with the same stamp!

 

Clay your killing me man!!! I don't even have a regular series 1976 fed set!

Heres a couple I got in the mail box this Saturday afternoon.




I'll have to take a closer look at this one, but with the necked eye it appears to have a very slight 2nd print ink smear.
Just 750 more notes to go, and I should have that complete '29 FRBN set from all denominations. Thank Jesus they didn't make $500 and $1000 notes with these, and the $50 and $100 are partial fed releases. Still them Dallas notes are going to hurt!

 

Good luck Ron... you're going to need it!

 

Well it is not a New York note but a fairly scarce "J" 34D in PCGS 65 Gem

enjoy.

 

A couple more fives.

 

New FDI for the Atlanta Collection !!

 

Hey guys, I was sort of marginally following your convo here and remembered it when I came across this modern example of an SN inking error. It's up next in this week's Tuesday Internet HA auction starting on the 24th:

Fr. 2128-G* $50 2004 Chicago FRN Star Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.

#141205

I'll be tracking the lot but I'm not bidding on the note, so if anyone is interested, feel free as I'm not your competition... just a bad influence pointing you to an interesting STAR error note.

 

It looks like the under-inking of the serial number went to the over-inking of the Treasury Seal.

 

Thanks krispy. Now I will have to watch this auction as well. Man, an error, and a star at that in such a great grade. Hmmm...

Clay, I noticed that as well with the Treasury Seal. I wonder if the ink collected in that area in this example.

 

I told you I was being a bad influence. LOL!

Now, I disagree that the ink from the SNs effected the seal on the $50* note, although, the seal has clogged with ink, pretty obviously (unless the HA pics distorted the look of the seal for some reason).

The most recent images I have to share of how modern notes are printed, with close up images of the seals and the separate rotating SN print heads comes from a 2010 CNET article online. They sent a journalist to the BEP to look at the production of the new $100 notes (which have been having a lot of their own printing problems, obviously, being delayed in their release.)

In this article, there is a section of photos, some 25 shots of the printing stages, quality control, etc. Scroll through the images and you can see that while the SN and Treasury seal are both the same green color of ink, they are not laid down in such a way as the SN print heads are "pooling" or spilling ink from SN to seal or vice versa. They are not physically the same place at the same time with the same application of the same ink.

The note I linked to on HA, has it's errors but I think the SN and the seal are not effecting one another directly, it's something else with the printing equipment, ink or paper controls. Images 16 and 17 will show you the seals and SN print heads.

Behind the scenes with the next-gen $100 bill from CNET.com July 1 2010

 

Thanks krispy! I'll have to watch this when i get home from work then. Increasing my knowledge of errors and how they are produced is great for my collecting needs.

 

my newest note

 

Nice A block $10 Operation Torch note!

 

Found this guy at my favorite branch the other day.



Seems to be alot of FDI in this thread recently, so I thought I'd share as well.

 

thank you.. my first cert beside common 57 $1 notes

picked this up for what i believe a pretty good price of 35 bucks.. how did i do?? it does have 3 vertical folds and one horizontal fold.. no rips/tears, corners ok, nice and centered.. also when viewing from the reverse i can see the serial numbers and the blue "10" stamp is this normal for a note like this.. thank you!!!
