I'll wait for Steve to sort that out for us.

Three consecutive notes, but only the middle one is missing the second print. Does that mean the second one came from a different sheet than the first and third? Definitely. The serial numbers are overprinted and stacked with the highest serial numbers printed first and at the bottom of the stack. After 100 sheets have had the seals and serial numbers added, they're cut into individual packs of 100. The three notes are from three different sheets. |

So, Steve, that means with my example of two consecutive notes with the same error, there were at least two complete sheets that looked like that, right?

Yes the second note came from a different sheet than the first and third note. They all came from different sheets and were stacked together.

Day 5: This $20.00 Federal Reserve Note is an example of a " Misaligned Overprint" error (a.k.a. Shifted 3rd Print), where a misalignment during the 3rd printing causes the serial numbers and seals to be out of position, vertically or horizontally, and so far from their appropriate position that they cover unintended portions of the note. This was actually the first error note I ever purchased and I didn't have a lot of money to spend on it at the time, which is why the condition is a bit rougher than the other notes in my collection. [Again, the back of this note looks like a perfectly ordinary $20 bill, which is why I didn't include a picture of it.]

I somehow missed the great discussion on Day 4 notes. Learned a lot by reading the explanations from Steve - I'm truly a novice when it comes to the process for printing paper currency. Great thread @barryg - keep them coming.  Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

I love all of the obvious or dramatic errors Barry.
Like nickelsearcher says, keep 'em coming bud.

Day 6:
This $20.00 Federal Reserve Note is another example of an " Overprint on Back" or " Reverse Overprint" error, which is generally caused by an uncut sheet being fed into a press with the obverse of the note facing the overprinting press. The information printed by the overprinting press include Treasury and Federal Reserve District seals, district numbers and serial numbers. Such a note will be missing these elements from the front, and instead have each displayed on the back.
