[QUOTE="Graveymaster, post: 2280143, member: 76344"]I respectfully disagree that the one type is simply "faded," or has "ink loss." I have included another comparison of the two types, below. These are bills showing similar amounts of wear and tear. To my eye, they are clearly printed on two different types of paper. The first example, below is blueish paper, while the second example is yellowish/whitish paper. Note the blue "shaded" area behind "UNITED STATES" at the top of the notes. On the first example, below, the shading fades out very smoothly into the background. On the second example, below, the shading is very crisp, and does not fade into the background. Look at the photo of the men on the left of each note, where this is especially pronounced. Also, look at the upper and lower margins of the first note. The blue shading continues all the way to the edges of the note. In the second note, the blue shading does not continue to the edges.
