1977 $1 Federal Reserve Note Fr. 1909-G - Ink Smear/Splatter Error - Nominal VF


This unusual error would be categorized, I believe, as an "ink smear" error. Yet it looks, for all the world, like an "ink sneeze". The reverse displays a truly unusual spattered/speckled Kelly-green ink splatter over virtually the entirety of the reverse (save two folded over corners when the error occurred). I've searched pretty diligently to see if I could find its equal but could not.

While I certainly appreciate the finery of a crisp uncirculated note, that this made got left in circulation as long as it did is pretty amazing.
