UNC 1973 $1 uncut sheet - words engraved on back

Post by Glimix » Thu Aug 24, 2023 2:52 pm

Noticed on the rear of my uncut sheet that the serial number, word "Canada", and "One" seem to be engraved onto the back of the bill. Is this something I should bother getting appraised?

The fronts of that series were printed from steel engraved plates and the numbers were printed from
numbering machines. Probably a little too much pressure was applied at the printing stage causing the
embossing you see. I don’t really think it would justify the cost of getting appraised though.
