I think this error in Charlton 22nd edition is "Offset serial number mirrored on face" E-18-vi

Book value is 75$ for a bill in Unc condition so yours can be a little less...

Maybe other member can confirm this

P.S. I'm interested to buy it if you interested selling it. Thank

So to begin I'm not sure if I'm looking at 2 different notes or 2 pictures of the same note.

If it's offset printing it would have to be a different serial number then the one with the back serial number. If these are 2 notes what are the odds that someone found 2 consecutive notes printed in 2004. The picture of the note showing the back serial number if in fact is offset printing would show signs of some ink being smeared but it's clean. If the 2 pictures are the same note that means so much ink was applied that it bleeded threw to the front of the note without any smearing? lastly if the picture is of the same note the plate combination ( from what i can see) doesn't exist, 31/35?

what am i missing?

If you look at the face side of the bill, you will notice that the serial number on the right is more pronounced
that the one on the left. Do you think while this person was tracing this bill, he ran out of ink?... LOL...Believe me, this is original ink that some how got stamped or bleed on the face side of the bill.
