<p>[QUOTE="funkee, post: 2015149, member: 37925"]You most likely have what's known as an offset error. The value is dependent on a few factors: 1- the extent of the transfer (does it only cover a portion of the note or the entire note), 2- the darkness of the transfer (darker is better), and 3- the condition of the note. </p><p><br /></p><p>This error doesn't occur from notes being stacked while wet. Rather, it happens when a sheet doesn't fully enter a press. The impression cylinder and the printing plate come in contact with one another, when there is no paper in between. The ink gets transferred from the plate to the cylinder. When the next sheet is successfully fed, the cylinder (now with ink on it) applies a mirror image of the design to the opposite side of the sheet. As more sheets are fed through, this offset image gets lighter and lighter. The first impression is the darkest and will usually bring the most amount of money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
