see323 Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Is it really an inverted trial / essay / experimental note as stated in Spink Auction. It looks more like an error note than a trial, experimental.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 That's a strange one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I can't imagine it would be a trial, why would they bother creating non-inverted plates to print this? I don't even think it's an error because of that. My guess is someone was messing around at the BEP (if it existed then) and had this thing created.

jtryka Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I can't imagine how it would have occurred accidentally, and yes, the BEP has been printing US Currency since the 19th century, so this would have been all on them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
