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 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.

Cataloged as Friedberg 2032-I, it bears serial I36180363A and the printed signatures of Treasury officials Mary Ellen Withrow and Robert E. Rubin.

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.
