PMG Registry Featured Set: Error Notes

Posted on 1/17/2023

This set is an excellent introduction to the various types of mistakes that can happen when notes are produced.

Smears, Stuck Digits, Board Breaks and Butterflies — these are but a few of the types of errors one can find in a comprehensive collection of US Small Size paper money errors by D. Myers, found here.

Paper money collectors are fascinated by error notes. Winner of a 2022 PMG Registry Award for this set, D. Myers has his own twist on collecting these rarities. He has a particularly discerning eye as he hails from a background of detecting counterfeits and altered documents. Featuring errors both big and small, this set is not to be missed.

The presentation of this set offers an artistic lesson in errors for everyone to enjoy. From ink smears, stuck digits and inverted watermarks, to double denominations and star errors, it is such a comprehensive compilation that our PMG senior judges were notably impressed.

If you are curious about the mechanics behind paper money errors, PMG periodically posts articles on certain paper money errors, like this one here. For our curious readers, you may find more descriptions of errors here, on papermoneyguide.com.
