<p>[QUOTE="BRandM, post: 1097146, member: 22729"][ATTACH]109672.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]109671.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p> </p><p>I've had this in my small collection for a long time, and always thought it was some type of doctored note. I'm always skeptical about supposed errors or unusual characteristics on any bill or coin because there are so many fakes in our hobby. Just recently when I decided to get more serious about collecting currency I bought several books and begun to educate myself. One book was the <i>Standard Catalog of United States Paper Money </i>and in the section at the back on error notes they had a picture of a note that looked exactly like this. They described it as a "missing 2nd printings" error. I was wondering if you guys think that's what I have here, or is this a fake. The one difference I can see on my note compared to the one in the book is that mine shows a shadow image of the front and their's doesn't. If it did miss the second printing because another sheet was on top of it, why would the image show at all. Any comments on it would be appreciated. Thanks much.</p><p> </p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
