United States Series 1969C 10 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Philadelphia District with overprint misalignment error affecting the green seal and serial numbers, Friedberg 2021-C, graded PMG 35 EPQ Choice Very Fine.

United States 1969C - 10 Dollars Federal Reserve Note, Philadelphia District, Overprint Misalignment Error (Friedberg 2021-C, CB Block), PMG 35 EPQ Choice Very Fine

Overprint misalignment errors occur during the final stage of currency production, when the Treasury seal and serial numbers are applied in a separate printing pass after the primary intaglio face and back impressions. A slight sheet shift during this stage results in displaced overprint elements, producing a visually dramatic offset relative to the engraved design. In this example, the misalignment is clearly visible in the green seal and serial number placement, confirming a genuine production anomaly rather than post-issue damage. Read more →
