Re: Polymer errors?

I wouldn't pay that much, but someone paid $600 plus for this 10 with a much smaller affected area 🤷 I think it's kind of silly. Maybe people are willing to pay for these types of variations because it doesn't happen often on the polymer notes? But if I was an expert I wouldn't be asking these quest...

Polymer errors?

I'm just curious what would be considered an error note on the newer polymer bills. They have an example of a $10 bill that has a "UFO" small Dot. On an online auction canadiancoinsandpapermoney site I noticed a $5 & $10 banknote both graded by cccs "light ink error" $10 "misprint left of 10"missing...

Re: $5 Ink prefix changeover missing some design Ink

It happens in printing. Possibly the start of a run and the fountains weren’t set properly yet. The opposite of when you have two much ink and you get ink smears. Do you figure it would be a big enough printing error to warrant a premium on the bill? Considering errors on polymer notes are fairly r...

Re: $5 Ink prefix changeover missing some design Ink

Cool, thanks for the info. I found seven well going through a strap from the bank. Pretty sure there was nine in total but I sold a handful before I noticed.

$5 Ink prefix changeover missing some design Ink

I was going through a stack of $5 bill ink prefix signature changeovers and noticed a few interesting bills missing some design ink under the word "issue 2013" figured I would share :D unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the full bill.

2009 Lincoln presidency cent error

Was searching my US coins and found this interesting penny. It appears that Lincoln has got himself an eyebrow piercing :lol: to me it looks like a portion of the two in the date was broken off the coin previous to this one being struck. What are your thoughts?

Re: $5 polymer note ink error

Does anyone think it's possible that it is ink transfer from when the sheets are stacked before they are cut

Re: $5 polymer note ink error

Honestly under the microscope it looks like an inverted signature on the wrong side of the bill.

$5 polymer note ink error

Looks like an ink error. Possibly something to do with the signature? I took the picture with a black piece of construction paper behind it so there is no light going through the bill.

Re: $20 polymer note error

John1000 Thanks, I feel it's worth the $40 gamble to send in. Would be interesting to find out how that kind of mistake is possible. Which of the two grading companies would you suggest or are they basically equal in service?

$20 polymer note error

Hi, my name is Mike. I am fairly new to collecting banknotes. I have recently found a $20 bill polymer note with a portion printed in($10) purple. A person on Facebook suggested it was an ink pack explosion. But if you look at the photo I have taken with my microscope it is definitely printed on the...
