    Title says it all. I deal in error coins, but these are way cool. What are they called? How much are they worth. They are very crisp, and not circulated.

    I traded some error coins for them. The guy got them from a bank. The pictures are not that good, but the detail is incredible on the $5 dollar that was printed on the Reverse. Not really sure how this could have been made outside of the reserve. I can take close ups with my coin camera. let me know what areas to take them of. thx

    You were taken. I hope it didn't cost you too much.

    Ink transfer. The image is a "negative". I'm not sure if this was done with an iron and/or perhaps presoaked with some sort of solvent but I doubt this could have happened at the BEP. If it is a genuine error, it is very cool!

    i think if it was made with an iron the paper wouldn't be crisp? If it was soaked the same thing?

    If the two notes are actually sequential there would have had to be two sheets of wet $5 notes mixed into the pile of $1 notes. Impossible. Take the time to learn how notes are printed and you'll understand.

    It's 100% impossible for that note to be a genuine error. What kind of coins did you trade for it, just out of cuiriosity? Sorry for your misfortune. Always research it before you act upon it.

    Have to agree with rickmp on this one. It would be highly unlikely that the BEP would have sheets of $1 notes and $5 notes running at the same time to produce an offset error such as this one. The margin for error would just be too high.

    In addition to all the previous comments...this $1 was printed in April 2009, and $5's of this design were last printed in October 2007. Looks like the faker didn't do his research.... :rolleyes:
