Description
Fr. 1909-G. 1977 $1 Federal Reserve Note. Chicago. PCGS Banknote Gem Uncirculated 66 PPQ. Doubled Print Error.
At first glance you might rightly assume that there's something wrong with your eyes, but rest assured it isn't your eyes, but rather an impressive failure of quality control, a failure endemic to the Bureau of Engraving & Printing during the 1970s. Considered a Doubled Print error, the error occurs when an extra printing of one of the impressions is erroneously applied and by way of an additional printing of a printed sheet in most instances. A dramatic example of this error, the effect is similar to what one would expect of a fun house mirror or the after effects of imbibing one too many alcoholic beverages, this error is confined to the First and Second printings while the Third printing remains wholly unaffected. A dramatic spectacle of the utmost sensation reflective of a time before revised quality control procedures, this note is sure to hold a special place in the heart and holdings of the devoted error specialist.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2500.00
