TRUE misaligned / miscut $1 (1974)

The front is clearly offset, or shifted, or misaligned even containing a sliver from the note above on top...while the back is CLEARLY much much more normal. At first I thought it was a "homemade error" from a sheet somebody cut themselves until I saw the back.
What do they call this specific type of error? I'm pretty sure it's not just a typical misaligned note, but I've been wrong once or twice in my time.

    Welcome to the forum @Axion3485. It definitely didn’t come from a BEP issued sheet. They didn’t start selling collector sheets until the 1981 series. Nice find.

    "Misaligned Face with Part of Another Note Visible" (notice that the Face doesn't align with the Back, the Overprint or the Cut)

    No, I guess I would need to understand how this happened to see it. To me the whole bill itself is jacked up, I can't tell what's straight or not. I've worked in printing (not currency) a long time ago but I still don't see how this was made

    Not mine, but it is neat

    As I see it, it's a printing error, not a cutting error.
