Awesome! How does one go about buying something like that in the first place? I think it'd be cool to set up a small-volume, hobby-level press...
Yeah, that was badly phrased. Die cracks through letters are common. @Jaelus has the explanation correct.
Yeah, I've seen some test notes before, too, but nothing like this. It reminds me of an older, European bank note.
Definitely a post-mint scratch. Notice how it goes through the I in LIBERTY? A die crack wouldn't do that.
It's a slightly misaligned die (MAD) strike. Very common, not premium-worthy, but a cool circulation find. :)
I can't really get a sense of the luster from these pics. The strike is good, but no chance at FH.
Lol. I thought it was a proof only album. My bad. :D
We'd need to see the reverse, and preferably better pics.
I would use a 38mm ring type.
Lol... The 8182 has a 2009 slot. :P
