Description
FR-2175-B 1996 Series $100.00 Federal Reserve note from the New York District. A First-Generation One-Hundred-Dollar Denomination having the second print missing. Zero face design for this note. PMG has labeled it as INSUFFICIENT INKING; You could say? However, I BEG TO DIFFER……..we believe the sheet adheres to the one above causing them to stick together. This in turn kept the face design from being printed. This sheet was underneath the actual sheet that got printed…. giving the embossing throughout this sheet that got out into a pack.
One-Hundred-Dollar “BIG-HEAD DESIGN” FRN for the First Generation issued on the 1996 to 2006A Series had the Black Seal “Federal Reserve Seal” printed onto the face design. This is the same process as the 1928 Series for the large numeral seal to be applied with the face design. They kept the Fed seal as part of the 2nd printing. This note was third-party graded P.M.G #64EPQ Choice Uncirculated with exceptional paper quality.
Where are these errors on newer series notes?? If you are reading this there has NOT been another example to surface on ANY Second Generation $100 2009A Series to present…. This very well may be the last of missing second prints on big head series notes?? Or say $100.00 Denominations.? Quality control continues to be at a very high level. Type errors are minimal anymore. Such as missing first prints, missing second prints, missing third prints, inverted third prints, and inverted backs. They are slowly but surely not surfacing. The last few we have seen were 2017 $10.00s with inverted over-prints. Cutting errors, serial numbering errors, prefix errors.
MORE AUTHENICITY…..
I added below ANOTHER “MISSING FACE PRINT” Labeled on older PCGS CURRENCY Holder….from the sheet below this one. Even so, it’s from the same print run and has same backing plate #106.
