<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 1476278, member: 11668&quot;]This isn&#039;t the sort of error that would affect a whole batch of consecutive notes.&nbsp; One sixteen-note half-sheet went through the overprinting press off-kilter; the surrounding sheets were most likely normal.&nbsp; And alignment errors like this aren&#039;t all that rare, as errors go--you could probably collect a whole block set of them if you wanted to search long enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, stars aren&#039;t printed &quot;because of&quot; any particular error.&nbsp; Stars are printed in advance, before there are any errors at all, and then are used to replace whatever errors happen to be found.&nbsp; The district of the star note doesn&#039;t have to match the district of the error note, either--so if the BEP *had* caught this error, they wouldn&#039;t necessarily have used a San Francisco star to replace it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
