[QUOTE="RickieB, post: 1182624, member: 2486"]Alf: To me it looks like a handling smear or very small portion of an offset, not an actual ink smear error from the printing. The Fr #37 has 2 varities the Elliot/Burke signatures and the error note Burke/Elliot sigs. I once owned a $20 Fed Reserve $20 Series 1914 Blue Seal that had the same type of ink smear, it was down graded to AU58 due to this. If I owned it, I would cut it out and send to PMG..they will not accept CGA Crossovers any longer. I would also scan this with a black background to see the bottom margin better as well. Simply take some black construction paper and tape it the lid of your scanner to achieve this effect. RickieB[/QUOTE]
