<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 803230, member: 19065&quot;]That&#039;s a different letter. I don&#039;t know how the SN device was put together but it seems a different type, or a &quot;bold&quot; letter &quot;A&quot; was put on with the &#039;regular&#039; weight numbers. </p><p><br /></p><p>If it was over inking would not the seal and some of the other letters/numbers in this green ink run show traces of this? I see no smears or bleed from over inking but rather an adequately inked SN, for all letters, numbers and the seal alike.</p><p><br /></p><p>As fonts go, typically, there are regular, bold, italic-regular, italic-bold and so on. With the SNs, I&#039;m not even sure if the BEP even considers them true fonts since they don&#039;t really use an entire family of all letters and numbers (do they?). These are just numerical stamping devices of a practical manner.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would guess the construction (or repair) of the SN device that put these numbers on the notes may have erroneously employed the heavier weight of &quot;A&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m curious to see how the more experienced can explain this one. Thanks for putting the note up for us to speculate about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
