<p>[QUOTE="Hommer, post: 8670959, member: 73266"]The print can be misaligned as well. Notes are printed in 3 stages with the back being printed first and the serial numbers printed last. These printings can be days or even months apart. There can be and are notes where the front and/or back printing is not centered, in the wrong orientation or skewed, completely missing, and/or even double printed. These too have tolerances and slight misalignments are normal. Those that the printing is off the note are naturally not in tolerance and are desirable to collectors. The serial numbers and seals of the third printing can be off centered as well and also have a tolerance as to what is acceptable to the BEP. Typically if the serial number or seal covers any other printing on the note, it is not within tolerances and is desirable to collectors. Some error notes have the serials printed upside down, on the back, or many other places on the note with the most odd being the most desirable. Some are missing them all together.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
