1 Yuan 1926 Chihli Bank Tientsin China Bill-Authen. & Grade

Hello,

I have posted two of the same bills:

1) the serial # 0655917 has the initial letter of the left signature beginning 1/8" to the left of the 'P' of the word 'Promises' directly below it.

2) the serial # 0797938 has the initial letter of the left signature beginning directly above the 'P' of the word 'Promises' also directly below it.

My initial concern has to do with the authenticity of both of these bills being that the signatures' locations are inconsistent with one another.

Secondly, the forth digit of red serial numbers do not appear to be almost touching the tops of the orange-colored sphere unlike the same PMG-graded bill as illustrated in this completed listing from ebay in Canada:

Were these type of positioning variances considered to be acceptable from the Chinese presses back in 1926 or have I uncovered a couple of counterfeit bills?

I would like an answer from CCF before I shell out the $ to PMG to get these graded etc.

Thanks,
