Cool find.
Very cool error. Not unique but rare. I would recommend sending a photo of the note to Bianca Bart. She’ll show it to her Dad, Fred Bart. Fred is...
Cool Radar note. The “invisible face of Benjamin Franklin” is called a watermark. It’s used on all modern US notes from the $5 denomination and up.
In a perfect world, the upper and lower margins on the front and back of the note should be fairly even. Both the front and back of the note have...

Interesting find, but I’m not convinced it’s legit. I would definitely want it authenticated.
Clashed ink plates ? I don’t believe plates are clashing. The intaglio printing process involves feeding the security paper between an engraved,...
I agree with most of the above. A stray teller stamp. Definitely Post-BEP damage.

You got that backwards @Searcher64. The upper note is the Old design and the lower note is the New “colorized” design.
It would be extremely unusual. According to what I’m looking at here, the BEP didn’t print any CC blocks for that series. Can you post a photo ?...
I’ve had minor success using a humidity chamber. Never iron a note.
Your note is from run #1 (640K) printed in July 2014. If it’s uncirculated, it’s definitely a keeper. My example. [ATTACH]
