[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2353052, member: 69760"]For my other question, is this considered average or below average centering? I can obviously see with the naked eye that it's off center. But I don't know what the average note's centering looks like in technical speak. Though I take it that "average" is being used more loosely as a label designation. [ATTACH=full]479157[/ATTACH] But isn't eye appeal subjective? I get that centering is nice, but that's nice [I]to me[/I]. Unless it's sort of like selling homes with neutral paint colors - it sells more easily and maybe even for more money if the walls are painted in neutral colors instead of more eccentric colors that were customized to the previous homeowner's tastes. At the same time, I can also see that a note may be preferred if the design is, say, all the way on one corner with a huge border on two sides, or has a large part of the design cut-off (or is that designated as an error for paper money?). If the design is cut-off (for discussion's sake, let's say that it's cut in half with a huge border on one side), wouldn't that make it rare and thus more valuable and sought after, leaps and bounds above one that is centered perfectly? If that's considered an error/exception, then that would make more sense.[/QUOTE]
