Post Your Ink Smudges

No and it would be nice to have one. The ones that have been found are suspect in nature per Sullivan's book.

Go down a few posts and check my wet ink transfer find from a few weeks back.

Peace

I have a whole bunch of these I've saved. Most of them are circulated, but I still don't care they look cool. I will try to post them tomorrow night after I get out of work.

Here are some with seals and FRB numbers with streaking. I have a bunch more. I just think they are cool .












These are some of my better obstructions or splitting on the serial numbers:









Here is a smudged FRB seal:



Smudged serials:









This next one you can see the ghost of the FRB seal and some numbers. I'm pretty sure the numbers are 366 from the serial numbers on the left of the note.





Treasury seal transfer:



I can't decide what has caused this but the H in John's signature is crossed. It doesn't look like pen in person. Plus the rest of the note is pretty clean.



A 2 and part of a finger print:



Over inked FRB seal:



Over inked treasury seal:



I have a bunch were part of a serial number is missing, but this is one of the better ones:



These next ones have a chipped serial number. I'm fairly certain the same piece of machinery was used to make all three notes. The first note is series 2003A the other two series 2006. All three are plate position D4. All were printed at the DC facility. I have more with the same number chipped too. It is the number 9 fourth number in.







These next three notes have under inking on the right serial numbers. They are all plate position H3 from the same block and run, but were found at different times. The one on top has the most under inking because is was printed last. You can see it in the middle of the serials. The bottom image is for comparison









I have a bunch more of these types of notes. Maybe I'll post more in the next few days. Hope everyone enjoys.

Don't feel silly about passing on those. I'm not sure if they are worth anything. In all likelihood they are not, but I think they look cool and I only ever pay face for them so its not like I'm losing money. I also keep notes that have misaligned serial numbers. I have a LOT of those. In some instances I have 13 or 14 notes from the same position and run with the same problem with the serial. All of them are from circulation or from stacks of circulated ones from the bank; I hardly ever get uncirculated ones. I'm keeping them because someday I plan take pictures of them and then release most of them back into the wild, but I have to find the time to do that .

The finger print note doesn't really have anything else going for it, I just thought it was interesting. As for the foreign objects embedded in the paper I haven't noticed that, but now I will be on the lookout.

Hopefully in the next few days I'll get some scans up of the misaligned axles or some of the other under inked ones.

Strange... I have never noticed them but as I said I will be on the look out now.

Take a look at these ink variances on $2's.

These $2's below have different Ink issues (light black Ink and Green ink on the numbers (thin)). Also what is the green on the obverse of the note? (2 notes on left side). Is it ink from reverse OR did someone try to Clean it? They are all 1976 for comparison purposes and are in remarkably good condition (AU- to AU+). The notes with the green feel diff like there is some sort of wax and is some what stiff. Has anyone encountered this type of thing in the past?






Black ink light on second note



Peace

The ink is light on the jacket on the 3 notes in the center and sn 40 being affected the most. These are all unc's.
