<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 991843, member: 11668&quot;]The black &quot;L&quot; seal and the district numbers &quot;12&quot; are part of the overprint, while the signatures, series date, plate number, and &quot;The United States of America&quot; are part of the intaglio printing plate.&nbsp; The two are completely independent of each other, but on this note, they&#039;re triplicated in perfect alignment with each other.&nbsp; That can&#039;t happen inside the BEP--but it can happen just fine if you scan a note, erase the parts you don&#039;t want, and then print the result onto another note.&nbsp; I&#039;m pretty sure this is a genuine $1 note, but all the extra design elements were added via laser printer.&nbsp; The faker didn&#039;t even bother to remove <i>the edge of the paper</i> from one of his scans--that&#039;s the source of the thin horizontal line near the top, that doesn&#039;t correspond to any part of the actual printing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.donckelly.com/error/$2double_serial3.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.donckelly.com/error/$2double_serial3.html" rel="nofollow">This</a> is what a genuine error of this sort looks like.&nbsp; Note that the entire overprint is doubled, and none of the intaglio printing is affected.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m not familiar with this seller myself, but I&#039;ve seen reputable, experienced dealers fall for fake errors before.&nbsp; Just because he&#039;s selling it doesn&#039;t mean he made it; he may not realize it&#039;s not legitimate, especially if errors aren&#039;t his specialty....&nbsp; I hope he didn&#039;t pay too much for it, &#039;cause it&#039;s worth $1.&nbsp; If you know the seller, you may want to contact him and break the news gently....&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
