A dollar bill with a seal outline duplication x 2. Only the outline of the Seal is duplicated - at first glace it looks like a thumb print - however, there are 2 duplications. The first is obvious, with the second much lighter intersecting the first duplication at the 1 and 3 o'clock position.

The questions are - 1) is the "Ink Shadow" an issue made at the mint? 2) If yes, what is it worth?

The year of the One dollar bill is 1985 - approximately that's how long I have had it.

Thank You

I am certainly no expert on currency but that looks like an ink transfer from a thumbprint.

Thank you, will try to use appropriate terminology -
"Bureau of Engraving and Printing", not Mint.

Newbie....
I have had it for 25+ years, it can wait a little longer...

Thanks

Thanks biokemist6, that was my first impression also (as noted in the original post). I thought I would post it just in case, if you don't ask, you'll never know...

Thanks

The issue with these is that these type of ink errors NEED to certified.

I have a similar note and mine is a thumb print of the district number on the right side.

I call it shadow 3 or Ghostly 3.

edit below
As per price - - " there was certified bep strap and a note where the seller wanted around $300. The thumb print was on the strap...NOT the Note.
