Additions To My U.S. Error Collection

I don't really know how the serial numbers are applied, but I have to say I'm surprised at the PCGS call of "insufficient inking" for that note. How would the ink just happen to be missing from the second to last digit in each serial number? It seems like an extraordinarily unlikely scenario to me, unless my view of how the s/n is applied is completely off. But I don't truly know, and am certainly not intending on bagging on your nice note!

I wondered about that too. In my catalogs (Canadian) they refer to it as a missing digit. It could happen on the number or on the prefix. Insufficient inking might be what the customer who sent the note in called it.

I have some notes that have one or two digits with very heavy inking making them appear bold and I have seen a few (none in my collection) that one of the numbers is so faint that it's barely visible. In fact just yesterday on the Canadian paper money forum a member pulled a note from a new stack that is missing a letter from one of the prefixes. It's also a mismatched serial number.

 

diggit im thinking coins. just spent a 20 today and didnt even think twice to look at it, but ill pick a penny off the floor to have a look at it. then when i saw this i looked at my other 20. is it anything that the serial numbers arent aligned centered to the center black line?

 

Nice notes. I've been thinking about venturing into paper. Is there a "Cherry Picker's" equivalent for paper money varieties and errors?

My first one with a "turned suffix":





Another with a missing digit (not noted on the slab) and it's bookends:

 

its amazing the frequency to which you find such notes lol notes graded 66 are sweet!!!!

 

Unfortunately, I have to purchase the U.S. error notes.

Something interesting.....99% of my Canadian error collection is in circulated condition whereas 99% of my U.S. error collection is in high grades. But... my Canadian collection is more valuable per note than the U.S. notes. However, I paid relatively high prices for the U.S. notes and I found all my Canadian notes in circulation and they cost me only face value.

 

I'm loosing track of which of my purchases I've posted. This one I just picked up last week. Keeping in the "slipped digit" theme:
