2005 $10 serial number pressed thru to reverse

[daning333]

Hi

I just bought three CONSECUTIVE, 2 digit low serial 2005 $10 notes, printed 2008 BFH prefix
The serial number was pressed on so hard it left very noticable ( to the naked eye ) bumps and rigid marks on the reverse.
You can clearly make out the numbers and partially make out the prefix.
I do not know the printing system used to add the serial numbers. Up unitl now, I though ink was applied.

I took the best photos I could trying to get a reflection of light on the bumps.

Anyone know what happened? Any increase in value? Is this a variety vs error?
That is if I'm using the correct terminology.

Regards

Dan

I'm having a problem attaching the photos. The response is that each of two photos are too large and I don't know how to resize or drag and post.

The numbers are applied after the currency is printed by a numbering machine.
It is possible that the pressure was a little too high resulting in the heavy printing.
I don’t think it would be classed as an error as it is just part of the printing process.
As to value, not sure if someone would pay a small premium or not.

Hi Coinguy

Thanks for your response!

I was thinking along those lines. It's neat and may make a sale someday a bit faster/ easier.
Everyone likes something a bit different, but not willing to pay much, if anything more for it.

Funny thing is that I could not see this in the photos when I bought it online at an auction.
But it stuck out on all 3 notes when they arrived.

The indentation the serial numbering machine punches into the paper is called "embossing." That embossing is a very good thing that most collectors (& all graders) hope to see. With embossing a collector knows that the note has not been pressed & is "original."

Is this similar to your notes ?
