Genesis Comics Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) Hi... I am a comic guy and had a question for the paper money community...I remember a few years ago that a minor error had occured on the 1999 series 5 dollar bill according to a TV news report...On the circle to the left of Lincoln it says United States on top and Federal Reserve System on the bottom...from what I remember the error was that the word states was missing the e and the s. In the copy (which I will try to link below) that I have I am just missing the e...the s is there. I don't know if this is "anything"...but any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time!!!

Genesis Comics Posted February 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Just for the record, I received the bill this way and in no way altered the bill. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjay2789 Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 after zooming in to the bill, it seems that this could be done by a person and not by the mint. I cannot really tell if this is an error and have not heard about this error before. Anyways, i might ask pmg if this error is recgonized by their staff and see what they say.

zrlevin Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 It looks like the E is partly there from the photo. It's very dim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis Comics Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 It looks to me like the ink was starting to run out at this point...the "error" that I had heard about on the news has the e and s missing...If you look at the s...the top is missing a little too...BTW...am I in the right thread for this question???

drsvenghali-migration Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Technically it is a printing error. However it was only hyped by the press and I know of no collector premium for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
