[QUOTE="funkee, post: 1710119, member: 37925"]I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it's very likely to have been tampered with. The word "ONE", the series (year) and signatures are all part of the face plate design. They are not printed separately. For the face to be printed in this way, the face plate design would have to have been botched dramatically. Not impossible, but very unlikely. This is what a note with missing overprint should look like: [IMG]http://i.ebayimg.com/t/1988-1-MAJOR-ERROR-MISSING-OVERPRINT-PCGS-CHOICE-AU-53-PPQ-/00/s/NjU5WDEyNDM=/z/TM4AAMXQM6ZREdwY/$(KGrHqF,!osFD+KiDljJBREdw(jcdw~~60_57.JPG[/IMG] Look for evidence of strong paper wear in the areas where the overprint should be, under magnification. That should give you enough info to make the call.[/QUOTE]
