[QUOTE="Numbers, post: 1844024, member: 11668"]I think maybe this, sort of. I can't find a good image of the printing of the black overprint, but on [URL='http://www.moneyfactory.gov/careers.html']this page[/URL] you can see the thing that prints the green overprint. The two serial registers for each note are mounted separately. *If* the black overprint is set up similarly (which seems likely but I have no idea really), then this note could result from one half of it coming loose. Might also explain why the lower left "11" and the upper edge of the Fed seal are a bit weak, if the whole plate (or die or whatever it's called) for that side of the overprint was flopping loose against the paper. (But in that case, I'm not sure that "misalignment error" is really the best description of what's going on...?) Mostly unrelated: Error notes with as-made folds can grade Uncirculated. But I don't see any folds in the image (can you see any with the note in hand?), and I don't think folds could explain the positioning of this particular overprint anyway.[/QUOTE]
