  I'm sure like most things, it's all about the condition. It's in okay shape. It was folded in half a couple times so there are some creases.

That is probably what I affectionately refer to as a "washing machine error" from the looks of those pictures it made more than one trip through.

Pretty interesting that only some of the front of the note would wash away.

 That is curious. It looks washed and I would guess that the ink that remained normal is a different ink. The thing is, the other notes that I have seen that have been washed or sun bleached, appear to fade more evenly. I'll be back to see to see if there are more opinions.....  |

Ever heard of one dollar bills being "washed", ie the ink chemically removed, and then reprinted with counterfeit hundred dollar plates? Makes for a very convincing counterfeit note, because it's genuine U.S. banknote paper. I think you may have a note that was an attempt at this. Just my speculation...

It looks like it took a bath in a washing machine, but it is interesting how the serial # and seals stand out like that though. It might have been folded in half, so that the obverse was on the outside. Hence why the reverse is not as faded. Edited by wquinn

Looks like there wasn't enough ink during the face printing process.
They print backs first, then the face, and finally the overprinting is third. Any kind of washing, or "laundering", after printing would cause the seals and serial numbers to be faded as well.

Otherwise, it would be an interesting "Board Break" error  Cheers |
