<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oklahomadanny, post: 3073258, member: 94480&quot;]This is an excellent post. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Lots of great information with clear explanations! Bold vs. weak colors and paper whiteness/quality. A lot of us call that &#039;eye appeal&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>That #481 $10 is an amazing error! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> PMG calls it &#039;insufficient inking error&#039; I would use the term &#039;missing ink/tint error&#039;. Yours is missing the red underprint&nbsp; where my #692 $20 is missing 2 colors/tints, blue &amp; brown/tan. The MPC Fest auction is using the term &quot;tints&quot; in describing my note. I think the auction is Sunday. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As I said in a previous post, 2 sheets stuck together after 2 colors were applied and missed the last 2 colors. Would be interesting to see one of those &quot;progressives, composites &amp; proofs books&quot; that show individual colors for the series #481. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie16" alt=":artist:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have a set of those reprints that Carlson Chambliss had printed years ago. A lot of them are replacements from his personal collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your explanation of why MPC errors are so RARE is spot on! Non-collectors do not realize that MPC was used from 6 months to ~4 years and then replaced with a new issue with the old series being TOTALLY destroyed! If you didn&#039;t exchange your old MPC on &#039;conversion day&#039; (C-day) they were worthless the next day. That is why MPC is not plentiful. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie39" alt=":cyclops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>mpcusa has a press photo on another thread showing the notes being burned in 55 gal. drums cut in half, the same type that were used in the latrines. I served in Nam and these barrels were drug out daily/weekly? and diesel poured in and set on fire. The smell of shit burning is an unpleasant memory. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie41" alt=":depressed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
