Description :

A dramatic and highly collectible 1977 $10 Federal Reserve Note showcasing a rare full back-to-front offset printing error. This error occurs when freshly printed sheets stack before the ink fully dries, creating a mirror image transfer of the back design onto the front of the note. Unlike light smudges or partial transfers, this example shows a full, extra-dark ghost image that is sharp and highly visible.

Series: 1977

Denomination: Ten Dollars

District: B – New York (serial B2787… visible)

Error Type: Full back-to-front offset transfer (extra dark / ghost image)

Design: U.S. Treasury Building (back)

Collector Notes

  • Full offset transfers are scarce compared to partial or faint examples.

  • Popular among error note collectors and those specializing in U.S. paper money printing mistakes.

  • Strong eye appeal thanks to the complete, dark transfer of the back design.
