United States 1996 100 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Chicago District with Insufficient Inking Error on the reverse, PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated, showing faint Independence Hall design

United States 1996 - 100 Dollars Federal Reserve Note Chicago District Insufficient Inking Error (Friedberg 2175-G)

This 1996 100 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Chicago District (Friedberg 2175-G, AGB Block) presents one of the most striking examples of an Insufficient Inking Error recorded on a modern U.S. high-denomination note. The entire reverse is drastically under-inked: the normally bold depiction of Independence Hall appears as a pale, incomplete impression, with architectural outlines faintly visible but lacking depth and saturation. The obverse, however, was printed correctly, confirming that the error occurred exclusively during the second intaglio printing pass used for the back design. Read more →

United States 1996 50 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Chicago District with Insufficient Inking Error affecting the left side of the obverse, PMG 65 EPQ Gem Uncirculated, portrait of Ulysses S. Grant visible with pale printing

United States 1996 - 50 Dollars Federal Reserve Note Chicago District Insufficient Inking Error (Friedberg 2126-G)

This 1996 50 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Chicago District (Friedberg 2126-G, AGB Block) demonstrates a dramatic Insufficient Inking Error affecting the left side of the obverse. The portrait of Ulysses S. Grant remains fully defined, yet the surrounding text, borders, and background show substantial ink loss, fading into near blankness. The mechanical cause was an uneven ink transfer during the intaglio stage-either due to low ink viscosity or an improperly adjusted wiping mechanism-which prevented adequate pigment from being carried into the recessed lines of the plate.

United States 1993 20 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the New York District with Insufficient Inking Error on the reverse, PMG 67 EPQ Superb Gem Uncirculated, showing faint White House vignette and missing ink coverage

United States 1993 - 20 Dollars Federal Reserve Note New York District Insufficient Inking Error (Friedberg 2079-B)

This 1993 20 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the New York District (Friedberg 2079-B, BD Block) is a superbly preserved example of an Insufficient Inking Error that drastically weakens the reverse printing. The normally dark green depiction of the White House appears faint and washed out, with many architectural and background details missing. Only fragments of the design-such as the central columns, the inscription 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', and the denomination numerals-remain clearly visible. The obverse, however, printed normally, confirming that the error occurred during the second intaglio pass dedicated to the reverse. Read more →

United States 1985 5 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Cleveland District showing Insufficient Inking Error on back with faded left-side vignette and frame, PMG 64 EPQ Choice Uncirculated

United States 1985 - 5 Dollars Federal Reserve Note Cleveland District Insufficient Inking on Back Error (Friedberg 1978-D)

Certified PMG 64 EPQ Choice Uncirculated, this example is remarkable for its originality and unhandled surfaces-an uncommon state for major printing flaws. The clean right-side strike and pale left fields illustrate how precisely localized these inking lapses can be. The vivid contrast between the bold denomination at right and the faded left vignette makes this a reference example for educational and diagnostic purposes. Read more →

United States 1993 20 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Chicago District with dramatic Printed Tear Errors on both sides, PMG 64 EPQ Choice Uncirculated, showing folded and torn corners obstructing ink transfer

United States 1993 - 20 Dollars Federal Reserve Note Chicago District Printed Tear Error (Friedberg 2080-G)

Printed tear errors like this one reveal the physical realities of the BEP’s high-speed production process. During the early 1990s, sheets were stacked and advanced through mechanical feeders at roughly 10,000 impressions per hour. A misfeed, suction failure, or improperly aligned sheet edge could cause a corner to fold under or tear. Because each sheet underwent multiple print passes-back, face, and overprint-a single fold could be inked multiple times on different planes of paper, creating the layered and shadowed voids now visible.

United States 1902 - 5 Dollars Blue Seal Plain Back National Bank Note - The First National Bank of Youngstown, Ohio Charter 3 (Friedberg 600)

Large‑size National Currency from a single‑digit charter. The First National Bank of Youngstown carried Charter 3, issued at the very start of the National Banking era. Low charter numbers stayed with an institution across redesigns, so CH 3 on a 1902 large‑size note directly links back to the earliest adopters of the 1863 system. Read more →

The wording gives the design the formal character of a redeemable banking obligation backed by legal gold currency. Read more →
