As noted in the previous lot's description, a slight color change of the paper on this note is evident upon close examination. We suspect that with the introduction of the anti-counterfeiting strip buried inside the paper, the Crane Company had to re-formulate how the paper was made, causing the slight color shift of the paper they would supply to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
