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)

Certified PCGS 58 PPQ Choice About New, this note retains original embossing, crisp paper, and full color fidelity in unaffected areas. The subtle fold that prevents a higher grade does not detract from the visual impact of the printing flaw, which cleanly exposes the mechanics of Bureau of Engraving and Printing intaglio production. Errors of this nature are seldom preserved in near-uncirculated condition - most were caught during press inspection or quickly worn out in circulation. Read more →
