[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 304289, member: 8247"]OK, two things to look for 1. Is there an impression of the seal? If there is, then this is a dead giveaway that the ink was clogged and the bank seal was getting ink. Easy to prove it's not a fake in this scenario. 2. Any evidence that a foreign object was stuck to the bill? This would usually be extra paper cutoff between the second printing and the overprint. It may or may not leave an impression. If the foreign object was stuck there before the second or even the first printing, then it definitely would have left an impression on the paper. Any part of the overprint is easier to erase than any part of the design from teh first or second printing. If it was done crudely, then there would be evidence similar to what you would see after taking a pencil eraser to paper. For a comparison, take a normal note, a pencil eraser, and try erasing the bank seal or a serial number digit. Also, try to get higher quality scans uploaded if you can. Here's hoping you have a genuine error!![/QUOTE]
