    here’s a nineteen seventy seven one dollar Federal reserve note from Boston that has a light but complete offset printing error with the reverse being printed on the front of the bill . the paper on this is crisp.

    That's so nice! What does that put someone back? I'm trying to get more familiar with the error note market...

    Yo Sal! When you say 80%, do you mean the design transferred 80%?

    Not sure what todays going rate is but I picked this up a number of years ago at a very reasonable price.

    I dunno, just new to offset printing errors. I was calling them wet ink transfers the other day. I found one strap hunting. Was a fun surprise!

    I think both are correct, no?

    I think so, but offset printing error seems to be the vocab the the major grading companies use. I dunno, now I'm mad confused. :bag: Here's the one I found recently. It's not super strong, but I love it! It cost me $1! :D

    Basically, they are the same thing.

    Thanks for keeping me honest! Wet it transfer is much more intuitive for me than offset printing error.
