Is this an error?

Everything except for the serial numbers, and the seal are faded away. I thought that it might have just gone through a washing machine or something, but wouldn't the serial number be faded too?

P.S. I also got 2 series of 1976 $2 bills. Are these worth a premium? I usually keep the older $1s that I find.

It could be underinking of some sort, but I would like to see the reverse as well. the 76 2 dollar bills I would keep if they are in good shape: otherwise I would just spend them.

I don't think it is an underinking error. My reason is that the front and the back of the note are printed at two different times. So it would be much more unlikely that this would happen to both sides. However I do know this: the ink used on the seals and serial numbers is different that that used for the rest of the note. Perhaps that type of ink is more resistant to wear? Then again the note looks pretty evenly worn. I'm interested to hear what other people think.
