Lot 337		$1 1935A Dual Error Silver Certificates. A run for four consecutive $1 1935A Silver Certs from N47144635C to N47144638C all graded PMG 58 Very Choice About Unc, with insufficient inking on the back PLUS vertical gutter folds visible on the backs. Estimated Value $800 - 1,600 This exact type of error isn't featured in the Bart guide to U.S. Paper Money Errors, so we have come up with what we feel is a conservative opening bid for these four highly unusual notes. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $504
Lot 338		One Silver Cert and Four FRN Insufficient Ink Errors. Five relatively minor errors, but each one is highly collectible: $1 1935D SC PMG 64EPQ D69574352 with the 52 missing from the top serial #, $1 1977 STAR K03779939* with the 3 insufficiently inked in each serial number, PCGS 66PPQ, $1 1977A STAR D07605491* with the 1 missing from the upper serial number, PMG 65EPQ, $1 1981 F34315276B with the left 1/4 of the note insufficiently inked PCGS 58PPQ, and $1 1988 L22823383C Stuck Suffix Letter, PCGS 65PPQ Gem New. Estimated Value $500 - 800 All five of these notes are quite nice and all should bring over $100 when sold individually. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $300

Lot 340		$1 1974 with insufficient ink on reverse. $1 1974 FRN serial #F42006337C with reverse nearly blank due to insufficient inking. Very dramatic in nature. PMG 55 EPQ About Uncirculated. Estimated Value $400 - 600 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $240
Lot 341		Three Consecutive S/N $1 FRNs all with insufficient ink. Three $1 1995 FRNs with 10% to 20% of the right section of black ink barely printed. Quite a striking image to say the least. Serial #s L10755461C to 63C, graded PMG 58EPQ, 65EPQ and 64EPQ. Estimated Value $600 - 900 The backs on all three of these notes are normal but the faces all exhibit striking mistakes. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $360
Lot 342		$1 1995 with insufficient ink on reverse. $1 1974 FRN serial #F42626846BC with reverse nearly blank due to insufficient inking. Extremely striking error. PMG 64 Choice Uncirculated. Estimated Value $400 - 600 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $264
Lot 343		Striking $1 Insufficient Inking Error. PMG has graded this $1 1995 Federal Reserve Note with no serial number graded 55 EPQ About Uncirculated. On the back of the note you'll see the words Exceptional Paper Quality and that certainly applies to this beauty. You can see the "L" district seal on the left side of the face but the serial number is impossible to discern. Estimated Value $500 - 800 One would be tempted to refer to this note as The Third Overprint Missing as that is correct. In any case we see the value of this note as $500 - $800 however you classify it. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $312
Lot 344		Four FRNs with under-inked faces. $1 1995 FRNs all printed in the serial # range E29337015P to E29337019P with three graded PMG 66 EPQ and one graded PMG 65 EPQ Gem Uncirculated. Estimated Value $500 - 800 About 40% of the front of these four notes display the under-inked area. Pristine examples of this error like this, are great collector items. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $312
Lot 345		Three rare under-inking Error Notes. $1 1999 serial # C76142310* STAR NOTE graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Unc, with 60% of the back under-inked, and two consecutive $1 1999 FRN STAR notes with the upper right serial numbers under-inked, one graded PMG 65 EPQ and the other 66 EPQ both Gem Uncirculated. Estimated Value $600 - 1,000 Star notes like this were printed to replace errors and locating any high grade STAR note with an error on it is a real find. While these two stars are not as dramatic as the previous note, if I were still collecting I wouldn't hesitate to put these away. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $360
Lot 346		22 $1 FRNs all with Insufficient Ink. $1 1999 FRNs all graded PMG 58EPQ Choice About Unc, starting with serial number B11131424E, B11131425E, â€�.427Eâ€�.429E then B11131432E consecutive through B11131449E.

Add these three: $1 1999 FRN D59311644C left 15% of face insufficiently inked. PCGS 68 PPQ, $1 11999 C761422328B 15% of back under inked PCGS 65PPQ, and $1 2001 G02440119* with the last 1 in the serial number under-inked PMG 45EPQ.

Lot 349		Terrific $5 Small Head FRN with amazing face mistake. $5 1988A Serial # E15162548C with the face badly mis-inked. This Insufficient Inking Error has been graded PMG 65 EPQ. Estimated Value $500 - 1,000 The eight year old industry standard guidebook to US Paper Money Errors by Frederick J. Bart shows a value of $500 for this type of error but we strongly feel this fantastic note deserves a bid well in excess of that level. This beauty has a ghost like appearance that makes it truly unique from other insufficient ink errors we have seen. We recommend you stretch to obtain this dandy mistake. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $870
Lot 350		Impressive Pair of $5 FRNs with Insufficient Inking. $5 1995 FRN with only the last two digits of the serial numbers imprinted, graded PMG 65 EPQ Gem Uncirculated and $5 1950A FRN Serial #22232169B with all but the last digit of the serial number in the upper right un-inked. Estimated Value $700 - 1,100 You just don't see many errors show up from the 1950s and this one is a real find. Placed side by side with the 1995 $5 error, they make an amazing pair. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $432
Lot 351		Nearly Blank Back $10 FRN. A rare Small Head $10 1977 FRN Serial #B37992911C graded PMG 64EPQ that has 90% of the ink missing from the back.

Lot 353		Terrific $20 Partner to the Previous Note. PMG has graded this small head $20 FRN from 1995 Serial #E23843594A PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated.

Estimated Value $600 - 900 This and the previous note make a wonderful matched set for displaying two ways to make a mistake. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $360
Lot 354		Perfect match to the $1 Missing Seal & Serial # Note. PMG has graded this $20 1974 FRN note with no serial number 63 EPQ Choice Uncirculated. On the back of the note you'll see the words Exceptional Paper Quality and that certainly applies to this beauty. You can see the "B" district seal on the left side of the face but the serial number is impossible to discern. Estimated Value $500 - 800 One would be tempted to refer to this note as The Third Overprint Missing as that is correct. Regardless of the type of error that this is, we see the value of this note as $500 - $800 however you classify it. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $384
Lot 355		Two striking $20 Mistakes. $20 1977 FRN K80088714A with the top 1/3 badly under-inked, graded PMG 45 EPQ Choice XF and a $20 2009 FRN JL80906549B with the serial numbers just about illegible, grade PMG 67 EPQ Superb Gem Uncirculated. Estimated Value $400 - 700 These two notes exhibit uncommon errors, and neither one should be passed up. The small head twenty has a ghost like appearance that is impressive. The Big head $20 exhibits an error that is very seldom seen, that being only the serial numbers are missing. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $432
Lot 356		Majorly under-inked back $50 Small Head FRN. A real rarity amongst rarities in this sale: A small head $50 1985 FRN with a lovely centered perfect front but with a back that has perhaps a 10% ink image. Serial #E30332107A graded PMG 65 EPQ. Estimated Value $800 - 1,500 Among the rarest notes in today's error note section. A treasure of an error note. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $480
Lot 357		$50 dramatically under inked reverse error note. The front of this $50 1996 FRN serial #AD5853275A is virtually perfect, but flip the note over for a real surprise. The back impression is perhaps only 5% of the intensity that it should be. PCGS has graded this rarity PCGS 65 PPQ Gem New. Estimated Value $900 - 1,600 This insufficient inking $50 is even more dramatic than a blank back error. Just a bang-up piece for your collection. As dramatic as can be! View details and enlarged photos	Realized $552
Lot 358		Amazing $100 Small Head FRN with dramatic under inking. This $100 1990 features a near perfect front, but the back of this serial #B73279938B is imprinted at perhaps 5% of optimal impression. An amazing error that is incredibly scarce, graded PMG 66EPQ. Estimated Value $900 - 1,600 We feel that this insufficient inking $1000 is even more dramatic than a blank back error. Just a wonderous piece for your collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $540
Lot 359		Three Insufficient Inking $100 Error Notes. $100 1996 FRN s/n AD20496706A with 30% of the back under-inked PMG 55 EPQ About Unc., $100 1996 FRN s/n AG25223080C with 25% of the back under-inked PMG 45 EPQ, and $100 1996 FRN s/n AG85321565B with 60% of back under-inked graded PMG 64 EPQ Choice Unc. Estimated Value $700 - 1,000 Three impressive big head $100 errors. It would appear that over time we are seeing slightly fewer big heads produced as the BEP as quality control seems to be more of an issue than in the past. As in the past, the demand for $100 denomination error notes is very strong. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $432
Lot 360		Very Rare $100 1996 With Blank Reverse. This is by far the rarest piece in this section of the error notes. This $100 1996 FRN serial #AK11857871A is missing the back print and is completely blank. It has been graded PCGS 66 PPQ Gem New. Estimated Value $2,500 - 4,000 This is the type of error that one cannot call a dealer and tell them to ship one of these beauties to them. Big Head $100 Major Errors like this one sell immediately when they show up in dealer inventories. We're thrilled to feature one of the best known examples of this error in today's Black Horse Collection auction. The Bart standard reference guide shows a value of $2000 in Gem conditionâ€�.and that was valued eight years ago. We feel today's auction should produce a higher result.
