flipacoin Valued Member United States 102 Posts	Posted 11/13/2016 9:39 pm Good Day Everyone, Acquired a few 1963 5 dollar bills today and this one stuck out like a sore thumb. I'm not familiar with paper currency as much as I am with coins. I am humbly asking for help identifying this type of error, if that's what it is. Thanks a million! Jon Report this Post to the Staff

flipacoin Valued Member United States 102 Posts	Posted 11/18/2016 03:22 am Thanks Coinfrog for the welcome! And thank everyone for your input. My first guess was it took a good stomping from a dirty tennis shoe, but then after taking a closer look and realizing that it was ink made me delve further into the cause of this atrocity! :) Thanks for enlightening me, Jonathan Edited by flipacoin 11/18/2016 03:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/18/2016 11:51 am How can a parallel hashmark pattern be attributable as a solvent smear? Every solvent smear I have seen is exactly that- a smear, not a defined pattern. Edited by biokemist6 11/18/2016 11:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
