United States 1988A - 10 Dollars Federal Reserve Note Philadelphia District Insufficient Inking on Face Error (Friedberg 2028-C)

This 1988A 10 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Philadelphia District (Friedberg 2028-C, CA Block) exhibits a major Insufficient Inking Error across its face printing.

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

A visually striking Insufficient Inking Error on this 1985 5 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Cleveland District (Friedberg 1978-D, DB Block) leaves nearly two-thirds of the reverse design ghosted or missing. The left portion of the intaglio printing-normally displaying the numeral '5,' frame ornamentation, and portions of the Lincoln Memorial vignette-shows only a faint outline where the press failed to transfer adequate ink to the paper.

United States 1935D 1 Dollar Silver Certificate showing Butterfly Fold Error with upper left corner folded and partially printed, PMG 58 EPQ Choice About Uncirculated, blue seal issue signed by Clark and Snyder

United States 1935D - 1 Dollar Silver Certificate Butterfly Fold Error (Friedberg 1613W, IF Block)

Butterfly fold errors arise during the high-speed sheet-fed intaglio printing stage. The damp paper, traveling at great speed through the press, can curl or misfeed slightly, allowing one corner to tuck under itself before impression. When the pressure rollers apply ink to the folded sheet, the trapped portion receives a partial print. Once flattened, the misaligned section stands out vividly against the otherwise precise engraving. These notes were typically caught and destroyed during BEP inspection, making any fully released example a significant rarity. Read more →

Paraguay 1907 - Banco de la República 5 Pesos with 1912 Dual-Side State and Treasury Revalidation Overprint (Pick Unlisted, Base Pick 156)

The original Pick 156 design already carried the monetary clause “Moneda Nacional ó Cincuenta Centavos Oro Sellado,” meaning that the 5 Pesos paper denomination was legally associated with fifty centavos in sealed gold value. During the monetary instability of 1912, this phrase became more than a printed value formula. It gave the government a pre-existing legal and monetary reference point that could be reaffirmed through emergency overprinting. The reverse Treasury stamp is especially meaningful because it repeats the gold-value language directly, making the fiscal validation not just an ownership or issue mark, but a visible reaffirmation of the note’s official value status.

Paraguay 1907 Banco de la República 5 Pesos with 1912 Emisión del Estado state overprint on the face, Pick 127, base Pick 156, printed by Waterlow & Sons, London, PMG 64 Choice Uncirculated

Paraguay 1907 - Banco de la República 5 Pesos with 1912 State Overprint (Pick 127, Base Pick 156)

The base design is a refined Waterlow & Sons production. The face combines black intaglio engraving, pale blue underprinting, large 5 Pesos denomination devices, a red serial number, and a dense guilloché security field. The Gothic-style Banco de la República lettering gives the note a strong institutional character, while the national emblem at center provides the ideal location for the later state overprint. The reverse, printed in brown, uses large denomination medallions, guilloché rosettes, and the national emblem to create a balanced and technically sophisticated security design. Read more →

Paraguay 1907 - Banco de la República 5 Pesos Issued Note (Pick 156)

The face features a central allegorical female portrait beneath the large Banco de la República title, flanked by ornate 5 Pesos denomination panels and framed by dense black intaglio ornament. Pale blue underprinting spreads across the lower half of the note, giving depth to the security design and separating the red serial number from the engraved black border. The Serie A designation, formal promise-to-pay wording, and engraved signatures reinforce the institutional character of the original issue. Read more →
