jbohanon New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 2:14 pm My dad had this in his safety deposit box. I'm failing to see any error. He seemed to think it might be a mule but I've found it surprisingly hard to research this online. Front plate number is H478. Rear is 507. Any help? Report this Post to the Staff

SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 4:06 pm Series 1977A $1 FRNs had the Natick Experimentals. I've looked at the OP's note and haven't been able to discern an error on the note. Report this Post to the Staff
CoolBreeze Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 8:24 pm He was probably thinking the bleed through of Lincolns' coat was an error. Back side bottom shows ink coming through. Sometimes called a variance, but not an error. Report this Post to the Staff
CoolBreeze Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 8:32 pm One other possibility is that the ink on the back came from stacking. In this case it's a wet ink transfer. Again probably a variance and not an error. The note would have to be effected more dramatically to be deemed an error. Report this Post to the Staff

jbohanon New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 08/13/2021 09:56 am Took this to the ANA show. A dealer immediately recognized as an offset printing and now that he pointed it out, it's very clear to see. I was just thrown by the "Reverse error" notation on the holder.
