<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1415086, member: 19065&quot;]This note is clearly well worn. Its surface has been rubbed from circulation, and its evident that it will not lay flat, notice the rippled edge along the bottom margin. There are signs of spots or stains in a couple areas, noticeably on the left face margin area and face bottom right of center margin. Who knows what else we can&#039;t see due to the intense light of the scanner having faded the overall color of the note. Some faked errors are washed in chemicals to remove traces of the features thought to be missing, this effects the papers surface, coloration and long term stability... it all requires more professional in-hand inspection to declare it authentic. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the centering, we can&#039;t tell how well the face is centered, because it was scanned with the note against the edge of the scan bed where margin could not be fully scanned. To avoid this and to help define the full margins, scan the note in the center of the scan bed, and place a neutral gray or solid black sheet of paper behind the note, then scan the note. For the OP and others: centering of the printed features of the note, seeing full equally spaced margins all around, is important in grading and value determinations. </p><p><br /></p><p>The prize is on both sides of the note, that it&#039;s not on the face but rather on the back, if indeed, it&#039;s an authentic error.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
