rmsexauer Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 05/22/2017 2:29 pm Hello Everyone, Got this $5 note in change today from the bank.. It has several swirl lines of BEP ink on the obverse side to the right of "States" under the "5" in the upper right corner.. there is also a horizontal line of this ink across the horizontal bar of the same "5".. Was wondering if anyone has seen this before.. the pattern looks familiar almost like a large 5 ..the ink appears to be a mix of green and black ink.. but you can tell that it is BEP ink from the during the printing process (perhaps transferred from another bill?).. The note is far from good condition.. just more curious if anyone knows what this may be? Thanks in advance.. :) Robert Report this Post to the Staff

rmsexauer Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 06/09/2017 9:01 pm So after some further searching on ebay and other paper currency sites I found errors call back to front and front to back wet ink transfers .. which do get certified by TPG companies and do carry premiums depending on the severity of the error etc.. how is this different from those?

coinlover1899 Pillar of the Community United States 3058 Posts	Posted 06/10/2017 12:25 pm I have owned quite a few offset inking errors. It is no question, like Stephen just said, that it is the severity of the error. Report this Post to the Staff
