<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 4867873, member: 6986&quot;]I believe the answer lies in how they were printed at this time.&nbsp; Specifically, there were four passes through the presses.</p><p><br /></p><p>First printing was the back.&nbsp; This was when this error occurred.&nbsp; This would put the darker note below the lighter ones in the stack of sheets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second printing was the intaglio face.&nbsp; After this print the sheet with the darker note was on top.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next was the FED information and signatures on the face.&nbsp; When this was done the sheet with the darker note was below the others.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the sheets were fed into the numbering machine the sheet with the lighter print was run through before the darker one because the lighter ones were above the darker ones in the stack when the previous process was completed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because the sheets were numbered in inverse order, the darker sheet received the lower number.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
