<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 1326323, member: 11668&quot;]Just FYI: this is the reason why some of the 1935x silver certificates have the same signatures as some of the 1957x series.&nbsp; The 1935&#039;s were printed on the old wet-intaglio presses, and the 1957&#039;s were printed on the new dry-intaglio presses. Ditto for some of the 1950x vs. 1963x FRNs.&nbsp; Both types of press were in use simultaneously for about eleven years, until all of the old presses were finally replaced.</p><p><br /></p><p>And, yes, the older wet-printed notes do have a slightly rippled or &quot;pebbled&quot; look to the paper when they&#039;re in CU condition, as the paper didn&#039;t dry perfectly flat.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, there was some sort of starch or sizing in the liquid that was used to wet the paper.&nbsp; That&#039;s why those silly counterfeit-detecting pens will say that these older notes are fakes; the residual starch in the paper sets them off.</p><p><br /></p><p>But none of that gets us any closer to explaining the OP&#039;s note.&nbsp; I suspect Noost has given the right answer, but I don&#039;t really know....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
