UNC 1973 $1 uncut sheet - words engraved on back

Noticed on the rear of my uncut sheet that the serial number, word "Canada", and "One" seem to be engraved onto the back of the bill. Is this something I should bother getting appraised?

The fronts of that series were printed from steel engraved plates and the numbers were printed from
numbering machines. Probably a little too much pressure was applied at the printing stage causing the
embossing you see. I don’t really think it would justify the cost of getting appraised though.
