[QUOTE="funkee, post: 1865315, member: 37925"]The faded 2003A $2 is cut from a sheet issued to the public. This note had a previous life, as a novelty note: [IMG]http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/QEwAAOxygPtS1ZIv/$_57.JPG[/IMG] Although I haven't owned such a note, I believe it's a sticker. Perhaps someone pulled it off and it took some ink with it. The other possibility is the note was washed. The way the note is faded does not indicate an error unfortunately. The letter "K" on the left, designating the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas is part of the 3rd printing. If the 3rd printing was under-inked, the "11" numbers in black would be under-inked too. The portrait of Thomas Jefferson and the word "TWO" on the right are part of the 2nd printing (face). The face was printed some time before the 3rd printing on an entirely different machine. Since both are faded, this indicates to me that the inks were affected after it was printed. The other 1976 $2 is a minor misalignment error.[/QUOTE]
