The front looks like it was miscut but what's going on with the back? Seems like it was printed off-center the image on the front doesn't line up with the back?

The note is cut a bit off center, but is within tolerance (It is only worth anything if the printing is actually cut off and part of the next note is visible.). Still, a 1974 in that condition is a keeper in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

In Series 1974, a few bills that should have had a BP #1905 had a BP # of 905. Very few of them are known. One of the blocks known to have the error is the J..* block. Report this Post to the Staff
