1954 $1 with no serial #'s

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

I was wondering if there are any known 1954 $1 with legit missing serial #'s printing errors? The reason I ask is that I came across this note (see below) and was wondering if this could be a legit error note or have the serial #'s been removed. The condition of the note tells me the latter but I thought I'd ask.

Please take a look at the ERRORS thread started by Archey80 re: Missing # of 1954 $2.00 where this topic is discussed.

I've posted an image of a !954 $1.00 note which had its serial numbers removed.  You can barely see the missing microprinting --  but it helps if you squint or step well back from the monitor -- its almost surprising to see how the outlines show up.  

I suggest you do the same for your note.  It could be legit (yes missing serial numbers are a legitimate error -- but they have been known to be "manufactured")

If you inspect it closely you may see the missing microprinting -- or its in tact.  If the microprinting is in tact -- its likely legitimate.  For a second opinion - attend a show.

Hope this helps...
