Some notes to show...

Two new notes added to my collection. Double quad 11112222 and Ink well contamination error note. I also found a high serial number note that was cut from a sheet.

    Lower left serial number has dark green to black numbers due to black ink contamination.

    Does that have a premium value?

    I just thought of it, but the high serial 1988A note posted above is from the conventional printing press, since it was used to make sheets.

    @CRHer700 , it does, but I couldn't tell you how much. In that condition (VF) maybe 50-100 dollars? Someone who has a better understanding of their rarity maybe able to tell you how much it's worth.

    Wow, I'll have to keep a look out.

    Overprint wrong ink color/contamination errors are extremely scarce! That's a cool find. The examples that typically sell for strong money (several hundred dollars) are when the entire overprint is in green ink only. The TPGs will label these "Wrong Color Ink" or "Improper Ink Color" etc.

    I thought you would know. You da man! Would it be worth grading even in that condition? So much for my guessimate.

    The thing about them is that they are super rare but the values don't really reflect that and seem under appreciated. I would put it in with a TPG submission of notes if it were mine for sure though.

    Sorry all for not answering. Every since I switched jobs, I've not been active in searching and going on this website.

    But regarding the ink well error, it's considered rare and harder to find now since it's was brought to light a year or two ago. There's two series that has these error.
    2013 DG block and 2017a FC block.

    I found and posted the 2013 DF blocks about 5 years ago but every one that I asked said it's common but I didn't believe them. So I kept all my DG blocks find (have found around 4-6 throughout the years) but FC block is my first find!

    I attached a pic that has some info regarding these errors.
