United States ca. 1970s – Giori Test Note – Jefferson Center, Black Front / Greenback Inverted Experimental Serial With Watermark

Experimental intaglio test note printed around the 1970s by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing on the Giori multicolor press system. Named for engineer Giovanni Giori, these sheets were used to evaluate multi-plate registration, color density, and press alignment on machinery that would later define modern currency production. The design known as the Jefferson Center joins engraved portraits of Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Ulysses S. Grant beneath a partial UNITED STATES OF AMERICA banner serving as a calibration reference. Read more →

United States 1995 5 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the San Francisco District showing Insufficient Inking Error on Face with faded left-side border and corner medallions, PCGS 58 PPQ Choice About New

United States 1995 - 5 Dollars Federal Reserve Note San Francisco District Insufficient Ink on Face Error (Friedberg 1985-L)

Although the PCGS label describes the note as “Underinking on Face,” the more technically precise classification per Bureau of Engraving and Printing standards is 'Insufficient Inking Error.' In such cases, the wiping cylinder or inking roller fails to properly recharge with fresh ink between sheets, leaving sections of the design starved of pigment. The engraved lines, especially in high-relief portrait zones, appear flat and lack their usual depth and sheen. 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)

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 1929 - 5 Dollars Type 2 National Bank Note - The First National Bank of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Charter 1 (Fr. 1800-2)

United States Series of 1928C Five Dollars Legal Tender Note with red Treasury seal and red serial numbers, GA block, Friedberg 1528, graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated, showing strong centering, vivid red seal color, and crisp engraving detail.

United States 1928C - Five Dollars Legal Tender Note Red Seal, Friedberg 1528, GA Block, PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated

The vivid red Treasury seal and matching red serial numbers distinguish Legal Tender Notes from contemporary Federal Reserve issues. Unlike Federal Reserve Notes, these obligations were direct liabilities of the United States Treasury itself. The bold red elements contrast sharply against the deep green engraving of the portrait of Abraham Lincoln, whose dignified likeness anchors the obverse. The reverse presents the engraved Lincoln Memorial vignette, a compact yet intricate rendering that balances architectural precision with classical symmetry. Read more →
