Keep all three. I believe the before and after notes are called Bookends and they carry a slight premium. More importantly, they only cost you a $1, but add significant curb appeal to the error note. Awesome find!!!!
"How does 1 bill ,the center bill, get like this ?" If I remember correctly, the serial number sequences are printed by column as the sheets are stacked up, not up and down each sheet face. So the sheet under the error aligned properly, the error sheet did not (32 error bills!), and the next sheet aligned properly. When they were cut, you end up with 32 separate columns (stacks of bills), each with sequential serial numbers. Each column should contain one error bill.
Do a google image search for uncut sheets of paper money. You will how the sheets are numbered and understand how a single sheet can end up like this. This also means that there is probably at least 7 other errors like this, potentially up to 31 other errors like this, and most likely 8 notes with sometime of gutterfold or similar error where the sheet was folded over to get this notes column shifted over.
is the 'one' outside normal tollerances? I couldnt see anythign wrong when reading the original post.. i had to read the responses and interpret.
Thanks to all for the info .I will do a google and see what I find out about the printing procedure. I found the note a couple of years ago and just put it in the safe and forgot about it until I joined this forum . After reading alot of the posts I remembered the bill and knew this was the place to find some info on it. I should have said it was the s/n I was asking about, but hey it was early. Again Thanks to all.. John
Actually, I like the strategy of not pointing out the error, as it helps me and others bone up on catching error notes in the wild for ourselves.
Nothing wrong with the ONE but the right serial number and bottom right district number have issues. Both seals "shifted" as well.. A general rule I follow is "if it's touching something it shouldn't be then it's an error". The last letter of the serial number is "touching" and then some. A nice error that may be qualified as moderate. We frequently (me included) refer to these as print shifts. Actually it's a misaligned print. Yes, they are bookends Gatzdon. Listen to Gatzdon on the technical stuff especially. Seems you like that Gatzdon whereas I'm not that technical. Makes it easier for me and others. clembo
OMG! i never even noticed the serial I saw the serial was shifted close to the border design, but never noticed the end block letter was gone.... :Banghead:
