The shade of green of the stain neither matches the green ink used on the front or the back of the note. Report this Post to the Staff

cashhound Pillar of the Community United States 800 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 08:31 am Just looking at Steve's note as a novice, I would say that the OP ink smear is in the wrong direction. Edited by cashhound 03/30/2018 08:32 am Report this Post to the Staff
lettow Pillar of the Community United States 742 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 09:48 am Ink smears on US notes are caused by the solvent that is used to clean plates between printing of the intaglio portions of a note. They do not occur during the third printing because solvent is not used in that step. If it were, the intaglio portions of this note would also be affected. Report this Post to the Staff
