Singapore Ship Series $1 HTT Last Prefix 100629 - "Shifting Error"

A piece of Singapore Ship Series $1 banknote with "Shifting Error" is up for sales, the printout on the obverse and reverse are much shifted to the right and downwards.

This piece belongs to Richard Hu's signatory series with is much rarer in mintage, only 6.5 prefixes compared to few hundreds of GKS's signatory, and D20 is the Last Prefix of it as well as the whole of Ship $1 series.

This note is much circulated, with stains on both obverse and reverse, in Very Fine condition in my opinion, no hole no tear. 

As grading is very subjective, some will agree to my grading and others might have other opinions. Please refer to my scan to judge for yourself as I am not an expert in banknote grading.

  2. Going by its name, Error notes are referring to banknotes that have flaws and errors during/originate from production.

    There are numerous kind of errors like mis-alignmet, ink smudge and more serious ones like mismatch/missing serial numbers, super impose of printout and gutter fold... etc.

    As quality control is strict on production, faulty prints are usually removed during production leaving only "good" ones to be issued for circulation. There is never going to be a fool-proof system in QC therefore a minority of "flaw" banknotes will still be missed and ended circulated out.

    In any kind of collection, anything that is limited and rare are always highly sort after by a group of collectors who fancy them.
