My incredibly limited understanding of the currency printing process is that sequentially numbered notes are printed on the sheets above and below the note in question. The sequential numbering is not on the same sheet as the note in question.

So when the stack of 100 sheets goes to the cutting machine the stack is sequentially numbered when banded.

This explanation is not endorsing the OP note as a bona fide error. It is just offering an explanation of why there's no indication of the same overprinting on the two notes on either side of the numbered note in this discussion.

I think maybe you misunderstood my question, @masterswimmer.

I asked, " . . . how is it then that the secondary impression is so remarkably complete, yet there is no trace of impressions of bills to either side of it?

I was not asking if the OP found other bills in the stack exhibiting the opposite end of the secondary impression. My intent was to point out that neighboring secondary impressions should also have shown up on subject note, but do not.

I don't know anything about the BEP printing process, or how you would do this on a copy machine. Either way, I'm curious how there is a ghost of a serial number C39173___B, but no treasury seal? I copied the "error" piece and rotated it to see how it aligns with the normal section.

Edit: I also see some signs of circulation - two bent corners and a slight bow in the center. But why would anyone create an "error" only to stick it between sequential notes? OP, how did you obtain this, who from, what was it marketed as, etc.

I go to the bank every couple of weeks and order a $1000.00 in one's for my grandson who is 12 as he collects star notes, sometimes we go through them together and other times he may go through them himself looking for the star notes. In the middle of one of the strapped notes we found the notes I uploaded.

I am not a collector of paper money and was not sure how this could have happened so I tried to do a search of what it could be, after looking at some picture's of other notes that had what looked like a ghost print they were called wet ink transfer which is where I came up with the message, but to be honest I had no idea if the post was a ink transfer or something else.
