That is not a wet ink transfer issue. That didn't occur at the BEP

A wet ink transfer will show the image in reverse and horizontal to the bill. Not vertically. Someone created that alteration using a copy machine.

Next time create your thread in the Paper Money section of CoinTalk.

It is still worth $1.00

 

That is weird because it came in a $100 wrap of sequential new bills and this was between a serial number before and after, I did post it on the paper money thread but all I got was that it was cool. I am attaching the pictures that I posted there.

 

@SteveInTampa
Hello Steve, is this even possible?

 

I just don't see how this is possible.

 

Actually this looks like a Fold-over Printing error. Another bill could have been folded over this during printing. I am specialized in the paper and plastic industry considered I've worked on printing for the past 25 years now. This happens on occasion where I work as well. Also, the process of printing money involves two separate intaglio printing stages, with the back of the bill printed first, then the front so this very well could have happened. Nothing is perfect. Not even the BEP. However I could be mistaken and someone did possibly throw it in a printer as another user stated. But if you indeed took this out of a stack then it is a real error.

 

Nope. Not at all.

 

Not necessarily

 

How about @Jersey magic man
What do you think?

I think it is something fishy in my honest opinion.

 

And when it smells like fish? Stay away from the fish department.
Never have I seen such a thing, .

I asked the same question in the past thread.

 

I would ask what is the procedure in stacking bills for release. I am not sure...

 

I don't know anything about the BEP printing process, or how you would do this on a copy machine. Either way, I'm curious how there is a ghost of a serial number C39173___B, but no treasury seal? I copied the "error" piece and rotated it to see how it aligns with the normal section.

Edit: I also see some signs of circulation - two bent corners and a slight bow in the center. But why would anyone create an "error" only to stick it between sequential notes? OP, how did you obtain this, who from, what was it marketed as, etc.

 

I think the picture or scan did not reproduce properly on the printer. If the printer was set for grey scale or black only it may have not printed correctly and left out most of the green printing. Again, this is just my theory without the note in hand.

 

That was my thought too but the serial number is also green and is visible.

 

The printer may have printed some green, just not what it should have been. Again, without the note in hand it is all guess work.

However, I cannot fathom how this would happen at the BEP.

 

My incredibly limited understanding of the currency printing process is that sequentially numbered notes are printed on the sheets above and below the note in question. The sequential numbering is not on the same sheet as the note in question.

So when the stack of 100 sheets goes to the cutting machine the stack is sequentially numbered when banded.

This explanation is not endorsing the OP note as a bona fide error. It is just offering an explanation of why there's no indication of the same overprinting on the two notes on either side of the numbered note in this discussion.
