Exactly--except that it's really the other way around. Shortly after the BEP started using this localized fiber paper, they reworked many of the...
Just FYI: this is the reason why some of the 1935x silver certificates have the same signatures as some of the 1957x series. The 1935's were...
Are you sure the bottom note in the first scan is the same note as the bottom note in the second scan? They don't appear to have the same...
It's...complicated. When the BEP prints sheets especially for collector sales, they generally use very high serials, above the maximum number...
Not an error--it was cut from one of the uncut sheets that the BEP sells to the public. In Series 1981, any serial above 99840000 is from an...
Again, you're confusing "not worth more than face to you" with "not worth more than face to anybody". Just because a note is damaged, that...
Wow...I seem to have missed out on a lot of excitement over the weekend.... :rolleyes: Let me avoid the drama and make one point: It's...
It's almost surely from an uncut sheet. The BEP had many sheets of star notes left over when they quit printing 1976 $2's, and they sold them to...
I guess it depends on whether you're thinking of it as "research", or thinking of it as "a question". Yes, random Internet forums are probably a...
I dunno...here might be a good place to get advice like "those are obviously fake; don't waste your money getting them certified" or "those look...
No, that's not the idea. What happens is that the intaglio press misfeeds, so that it tries to print without having any paper in it. The inked...
The lowest number is on top. So the top note of the first strap would be 00000001, and the bottom note of that strap would be 00000100.
Got an email about this, so I might as well reply here.... :rolleyes: As errors go, an offset transfer is pretty common. So I don't think it'd...
Don't look for W's; look for M's that are actually upside-down W's. See here for more information. :cool:
Yeah, I don't think "test" is really an appropriate term here. The note was printed on the new SOI presses, but those aren't in any way...
It's not exactly Braille, but it serves a similar purpose--to enable those with limited or no vision to identify the note by touch. Each...
It's from a short run of 320,000, printed July 2011--and so far, it's the *only* star run printed for the 2006A $100 series. Most likely more of...
This doesn't look like any error type I'm familiar with. It's hard to be sure from the small image, but my first guess would be that somebody was...
As everyone else is saying: great page! :cool: I'm confused by the "832 bills per serial number" thing, though. There are 32 bills per *sheet*...
Um...he may have an odd first name, but Sherl Joseph Winter is definitely male. :rolleyes:
Separate names with a comma.
