-Fair enough. I'm not very familiar with the 2nd nor 3rd printing sequences for BEP & was only noting that they were off & that this type of error...
I realize I'm a bit late for the party, but you can see that the later design elements: the Federal Reserve Bank #3; the Treasury seal & serial...
- Give it time. It takes a bit of time before a lot of collectors catch on to tough signature combinations. Re: grading If you decide to submit...
The first 3 are nice, what my dealer friend would call "fancy" numbers (interesting pattern, eye catching but all near misses). There might be a...
Interesting thread. It's very unfortunate to hear that he was "in trouble with the United States Secret Service" & his place was raided so often...
-Good question. I think it was the upper numbering tumbler that went awry (with the last 3 digit being high/out of position). I doubt there would...

So notes like these have to be taken to a bank (cannot be used in a store)?
I attended a grading workshop by a pretty upstanding paper certifier in this area & he said (a few times) you grade the overall note and then...
Many, see this site for starters. They're usually very dramatic (obvious) and some not so obvious but you can identify them easily. I agree with...
-Glad I could help. From one teacher to another -great idea & good luck!
Not really: most printer's proofs come as uniface (1 sided printing) that I know of. Maybe you are thinking of colour trial? Colour trials usually...
Your Belgian Congo 20 Francs appears to be P-10b, printed on 03/11/1920 from Kinshasa. Date is above "Banque du.." You're right, these Belgian...
