<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 1667025, member: 11668&quot;]The paper expanded and shrunk multiple times, as it was dampened before each printing and dried afterwards.&nbsp; If you compare these two notes to lots of other 1923 $1&#039;s, you should find additional small variations in the sizes of both the face and back designs, with no particular pattern.</p><p><br /></p><p>On some earlier large-size note types, variations like this actually do go back to the printing plates, as each plate was individually prepared from master dies of the separate design elements (borders, portrait, &amp;c.) and so the alignment of these elements wouldn&#039;t be identical on every plate.&nbsp; But I&#039;m pretty sure that practice ended *long* before Series 1923....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
