For sure this is a nice BEP error note. It had upside down printing and on a $100 note at that. It’s a 1977 series.
Very cool error. An Inverted Overprint error. Here’s a graded example that sold for $660 back in 2018.
Ink smears are very common and so are bills with the printing slightly in the wrong position like this one. The serial number is printed too low and so is the treasury seal.
I will be posting a new error that I have recently acquired. It’s a very rare error and highly sought after. I’ll post it as soon as I receive it. I can’t wait to see it.
I can't read what error is listed (picture is cut off), but I do not think this is a low third printing. I believe this is a second printing error (printed too high). The serial number and seal are exactly where they are supposed to be, it just appears low due to the high second printing. If you measure where the serial numbers are (relative to the edges of the note) on a "regular" note and this note I think they will match up pretty close. Or course, this is just my opinion.
I can't afford $100 errors, but here is a $1 note with an upside down third printing, with book end notes. The center note also appears to have a cutting error. It looks that way because the sheets are not symmetrical, and when inserted in a stack of sheets backwards it will get cut normally but look like a miscut.
Thanks for justifying my statement. I was just pointing out that the serial numbers are not printed too low, it just looks that way because the face (2nd) printing was high.
Three nice error notes in order. I think the only denomination I don’t have an error on is a $50.00 note. I’ll find one some day.
