Quote: one question though, in your first image above, behind the scope - is that a cherry tree in full bloom? It is a weeping cherry. They don't give fruit, but are really pretty in Spring.

First note is a 25 cent Washington Fractional. I had one but it wasn't in the best shape. While I tried to buy Hokie's notes that he recently listed, I lost both auctions, so this in a conciliation prize.   I'll post the others on different days

Ink Transfer: If a sheet of paper fails to feed into the press, the wet inked plate touches the cylinder directly, transferring the wet design onto the roller. The Ghost Image: As the next regular sheets of paper feed through, the cylinder stamps that unwanted, secondary layer of ink onto the wrong side of the note.

Face-to-Back or Back-to-Face: Depending on which side of the press lacked paper, you will see a faint backward impression of the front printed onto the back of the bill, or vice versa. The note:
