"Offset" Error on 10 Peso English Series Note

This error not that is shown in this post is called an "offset print". According www.usmintquarters.com this type of error look like one side of the note "bled " through the other side. The offset or Wet Ink Transfer places a mirror image on the wrong side of the note. Often called "blanket impressions" Some printing errors are more distinguishable that others.

As you can see the front side of this English series(Garcia signed) 10 pesos looks normal but on the other side, there are some noticeable parts of the note that gave the impression of the ink bled to the other side.

Just to be sure that this note got an authentic error and being quite skeptic about it, I've let my collector friend, Mr. Coolpit to have it check since he knows more about such things. Thankfully he identified what type of error it was and told me that it commands a higher price especially with its condition that is almost uncirulated.


Here are some of the closer detail of the error found.

Notice how the border of the other side of the note appears(dark like spots) partially on this side.



Here is the closer view in middle part of the note where the words TEN PESOS shows partially as well.



Also the lower part having almost the same occurrence of the upper part of the note.


I've decided to keep this note since to me it is some sort of a prize. It shows that even with the modern equipment in producing paper money during that time, still in rare cases, such mistakes appear. It is good to see something like this came out, otherwise according to Mr. Coolpit error notes are not really qualified for circulation and was usually destroyed as a defective currency.
