freeqgirl Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 12:56 pm I heard this term for the first time yesterday and searched the forums here and only found one thread which was deemed a shift error (same thing that the person on the YouTube video had; coincidence?). This is what I have found.....would this be a "ghost" error? Upper left side has a remnant of a serial number and the bottom right has an imprint of a serial number which doesn't look like its the same number as what is on the bill....Let me know what you think on this...

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 1:14 pm Sorry, not sure I understand your question. Are you referring to the "11"s shown in the corners? This is the District Number for Dallas, the Federal Reserve Branch that issued the notes. Report this Post to the Staff
freeqgirl Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 1:35 pm Coinfrog - I'll take some close ups of it, right above the 11. you can see a number in green (faint, but its there). Looking at the second picture there is a serial number imprinted on the "series 2013" and signature. But I will do some closeup's, I didn't realize how shotty that second picture is. My apologies.

SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 1:37 pm I would guess....maybe a bit of post BEP ink transfer. Looks like the note has some hard folds, and while folded, the green serial number ink rubbed off on the opposing side. Maybe dampness was also involved. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 1:42 pm FW? Fort Worth/Dallas. Otherwise the spots? Bleed through from heavy reverse ink? Don't see any definitive, could also be new sheet contact with wet ink. Report this Post to the Staff
freeqgirl Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 1:46 pm Here are some close ups. I believe SteveInTampa, may be right, the only thing that is weird is the the last number in the serial# is a 2 where in the imprint it looks like a 5 to me. But everything else looks the same....

WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 2:16 pm If you need maginified photos to highlight something on a bill, it's likely not an error. Coins, on the other hand, are a different story. This is probably just a spender. Report this Post to the Staff
freeqgirl Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 2:24 pm You can see it fine with the naked eye, I just don't have a good photo setup with put using the macro lens on my phone. But you're probably right. I'm just looking to learn. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 4:21 pm I see it now - my eyes aren't getting any younger. I agree with Crazy on this. Report this Post to the Staff
