[QUOTE="Numbers, post: 3793197, member: 11668"]On older series like this, many of the alignment marks were in locations that didn't get trimmed off. The exact positions vary between series, but up into the 18-subject series in the 1950s, there are marks like this on some notes. They shouldn't affect value as they're a normal part of the printing process. I don't think any of the 32- or 50-subject notes have alignment marks between the notes on the sheet, though some of the early 32-subject notes did have marks in the outer sheet margins that could easily end up showing on a note with just a small misalignment. In the other direction, going back to the large-size notes, some series actually had plate numbers etched between two of the notes on the sheet, so some notes will have much more going on in the margins than just a tick mark here or there. Likewise for fractionals. In those cases, a clearly readable full plate number in the margin of a note can sometimes add value, since there's only one per sheet and it often gets split between two notes when they're cut.[/QUOTE]
