Message:: [QUOTE="Numbers, post: 2149833, member: 11668"]Let's see... #2 is a definite keeper, though given its condition it's not going to command a very large premium. #7 is actually a more prominent stuck digit than most of the ones people ask about.  Since the entire digit is still present it's not a major error, but I'd call this one a clear keeper too. #9 also looks pretty cool...if the front side is normal, then this degree of front-to-back misalignment can reasonably be called an error. #1 and #5 are kinda borderline as to whether they should be called errors or not.  The alignment is significantly off, but that was more common on the 1976 series than it is today. #3 it's not clear whether the extra ink is from the BEP or whether it's something that got onto the note while it was in circulation.  Similarly for #10; could just be circulation wear starting to show up at that particular spot. #6 is pretty much normal; the serials would have to be a lot fainter than that before we'd start to say they were underinked. #4 and #8 aren't errors; the ink got smudged after printing.  Notice that all three notes in #4 have serial numbers ending in 001; the top note of a bundle often gets this kind of light smudging from contact with the shrink wrap.  On the other hand, #8 looks like circulation wear; maybe the note got wet?[/QUOTE]
