jleclair74 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/24/2018 12:02 pm Hello, recently I received this $1 will the silhouette of $5 Lincoln in it as well as the serial numbers from the $5. Is this even possible? The back of the bill appears fine, just the front looks this way. Any help would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

BadDog Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 08/24/2018 9:11 pm But it's strange damage You'd think that if the two notes were face to face, got wet and ink got transferred then the ink transfer from the $5 would be reversed, but it's not. It's oriented as if it were an offset transfer. Report this Post to the Staff

Or perhaps they were just SO soggy that the ink bled all the way through from back to front (or front to back if the Fiver was on top of the George) Edited by CelticKnot 08/24/2018 11:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
