SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 04/02/2024 12:15 am A Face-to-Back offset error indicates that the face image is offset printed onto the back of the note, whereas a Back-to-Face offset error is the exact opposite.

SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 04/02/2024 3:08 pm You're correct mikev50, it's a Face-to-Back offset error Report this Post to the Staff
mikev50 Pillar of the Community United States 1869 Posts	Posted 04/02/2024 3:20 pm Should I send it in to get corrected or leave as is--- Report this Post to the Staff
SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 04/02/2024 4:32 pm Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. The notation on the front of the holder is correct. It's basically an Offset Printing Error. I'm guessing no one will notice the incorrect description noted on the back of the holder.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95078 Posts	Posted 04/02/2024 4:41 pm I just noticed that this had to happed before it got serialized as the offset print is lacking that set of numbers/letters and the green and black seals.
