My apologies on the 1st link folks. Thank you Siuol for pointing it out and I have removed that link and paragraph. For some reason I thought it was a regular note and not a STAR.
Back to the topic - Yes there is an error called "Major misalignment of black portion of overprint". The 6 you speak of would have been very near the bottom or on the top but it's quite possible that it COULD have ended on the next note. These were notorious errors back in the 80's / 90's and happen when sheets stick together.
Prices per Sullivan's book for the error - F $75, XF $150, CU $300. Search for "misalignment overprint" and you should get some hits.
I questioned the authenticity of an error note and was close to being kicked out of the store and I am going to keep the camera in the car the next time around and take my chances. The way I look at it is that IF it's a real error and you want $300 for it WHY is the note not graded? When I asked this question the answer given was that's how I got it.
For $50 to $75 bucks yes I will gamble but not for $300.
Peace
