I couldn't help the title. I was laughing as I typed it. Just a common ink smear on a 1981 A $5.00 Federal Reserve Note. The bill is from Boston and it's very crisp. Enjoy
I took off my glasses, took another shot and viewed the bill. Smears? You ain't got no schmears. It's just a fingerprint of your magination. Hic! Pardon the hiccup.
Most of the solvent smear notes I’ve seen have been from notes printed in the 1970s and 1980s. My lone example. Pretty dramatic.
