<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Small Size, post: 2692391, member: 77924&quot;]A second printing (the front) without a sheet put a positive image of the front on the &quot;backboard&quot; that a sheet normally is on when it receives its second printing. Subsequent sheets picked up a reverse image of the front on the back, until the ink on the backboard was gone.</p><p>Your five is a 100% offset transfer error of the second printing on the back. It&#039;s not the first one after the initiating error occurred, but it&#039;s pretty close. Your twenty is not quite 100%, and the error is not as dark. Both are quite desirable, but error collecting is rather an esoteric part of the hobby, so demand is limited.</p><p>If they were mine, and a dealer offered me $400 for the pair, and I needed the money, I&#039;d take it and not feel ripped off. Retail value of the five, which has a catchy nickname - the ghost of Lincoln over his tomb - probably is $400 or so. The twenty is probably worth about two-thirds as much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
