Third one I am really glad I picked this one up. I have never owned a note with part of the serial number stamped on the portrait and I'm honestly not sure how that happened. The other note was included in the lot because it was the same series. I think this is a pretty cool error even if it isn't that dramatic.
These all look like some decent errors to add to any collection. I've never seen a partial offset of the serials on a silver certificate before, so that's really cool. Congrats!!
Thanks, If anyone can share some info or if you have any ideas about how the serial number offset happened I would be glad to hear it. It still has me stumped.
I'll take a shot.... a long time ago, when the ink was yet wet, the bottom note was held upside-down over the first. It was rotated 45 degrees or so, clockwise. Then a small fingertip was used to apply pressure, only succeeding on the first three numbers of the serial. Presto! Place into book... time passes... noticed by person other than the original owner... sent in for submission together... noone suspects why they remain as a lot. I really have no idea, just had to give ya somethin'!
I really like the dollar with the butterfly fold and even EPQ for a C VF 35. Also the silver certificate that rates 64 PPQ, Also was that a stray red mark on the PCGS holder?
Just won this on Heritage about 5 min ago. I have never owned an example of this error and with all of the fakes out there I am glad to add a real one to the collection.
But wouldn't the serial number then be transposed? That serial number looks normal -- not transposed or inverted.
