    Ink transfer comes from touching the printing bed. Not another bill.

    Now that makes perfect sense... I have never seen this before, thanks. I'm still going to keep it and show the grandkids.

    Now I'm confused... can the print bed duplicate the same effect?

    I wasn't answering that post.

    Offset Printing or Offset Transfer
    Offset printed notes occur when an inked plate makes contact with the bed, often the cause of no sheet being fed to the press to accept the intended ink. As a result, when the next sheet passes through the press, the area impressed onto the impression cylinder is then pressed onto the opposite side of the note. Like others, this type of error can range from minor to a complete offset, with the latter being more desirable to collectors. While a rational theory, note that the errors described or pictured here are not caused by wet sheet transfer, or ink transferring from still-wet sheets to other sheets.

    Anyway to track that serial number to that location... history line? Now that would be cool.

    I understand, I can see the process (in my mind). I am still curious about the image to the left of the portrait which has no ink...

    As a coin/paper money collector I also collected autographs. This is an Uncirculated 1995 One Dollar Bill signed by Former Secretary of Treasury, Robert Rubin. robert rubin dollar.1.jpg

    We were an Air Rescue Squadron, small, just over 100 airmen/officers when I was assigned. Our mission was to pick up pilots shot down behind enemy lines in Korea and fly them to safety. Fields that were long enough and flat were designated for the runway (?). We landed, full flaps, standing on brakes. Turned the aircraft, then we strapped JATO bottles to the tail section and blew them while giving it full throttle. If all came out right, we got off the ground and flew 300-500 feet altitude, till we got to our lines. We were flying Goonies (C47), most built in the mid '40's, equipped with fuel tanks lining both sides of the entire fuselage. Our maximum range was classified "TOP SECRET". That, of course, was before the Huey helicopters took over all that action. We trained in England. It was actually fun duty. Flew all over Europe, spending 3-4 days doing "maintenance" on the plane...

    That's a keeper there.... One for the grandchildrens' grandchildren'
    Fascinating... Fascinating... I never get to hear much about the Korean war (or anything about those who served there) Usually it's WWII, Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan. I was in Iraq 04'/05. Retired 06' We were a Cobat Support Battalion running convoys from Dahuk [just south of Turkey] to Kuwait. Most of it was "blackout conditions". I love the JATO's... such a rush.

    Latest note is a National Bank Note, my first from Worcester, MA, series of 1929 $5.00 Mechanics National Bank Charter 1135. It's probably a very good, but to me it's a gem. I'm trying to obtain a small list of Worcester County Nationals, mostly from the immediate towns within 50 miles of Worcester. Any help or leads would be very appreciated.

    Today's new pickup is this rather nice Dallas issued 1914 $10 from Dallas. Generally eye pleasing...
