<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 366688, member: 11668&quot;]It&#039;s an offset transfer.&nbsp; Yes, it&#039;s an error, and it&#039;s worth a substantial premium; see <a href="http://www.donckelly.com/error/1995$10offset.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.donckelly.com/error/1995$10offset.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> for another example (it&#039;s back-on-face instead of face-on-back, but same idea).</p><p><br /></p><p>This error happens when one sheet of currency paper is torn or folded, or when the press just goes through a cycle with no paper in it at all.&nbsp; The result is that some or all of the ink intended for that sheet instead ends up on the backing that presses the sheets against the printing plate.&nbsp; When the next sheet comes along, that ink is transferred to the wrong side of that sheet, forming a mirror image of the note design.&nbsp; The next few sheets usually show similar offsets too, though they get successively fainter until they vanish completely after perhaps eight to twelve error notes are printed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The value of the note depends on its condition, of course, and also upon the strength of the offset image (darker is better).</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
