I assume you are referring to embossers ("raised seals") as opposed to stamps. Embossed impressions are traditionally upside down/backwards because the seal press is meant to impress the seal from the left of the page or from the bottom of the page. Since most of the time the notary's signature is placed on the right side of the page, and many notaries place the seal on top of their signature, they must angle the seal press in such a way that the impression is upside down. Since the seal is round it doesn't make any *legal* difference which was it is impressed. There *are* seals that impress from the right side of the page, and they can be made that way upon request. However, most notary seals impress from the left or the bottom, so notaries must affix them backwards in order to place them on top of their signature.

Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. Gold certificates had gold seals, green seals were used on Federal Reserve Notes.
This is a privately made novelty item with no collector value and virtually no gold value. The US has never printed $2 gold certificates. Most $2 bills were issued as red-seal US Notes up till 1963; since then they've been printed as familiar green-seal Federal Reserve Notes.

In many states, a notary stamp is the notary seal. In general, people use "notary seal" as a reference to an embossing/raised seal. However, some states require notaries to use stamps rather than embossers, and in these areas it is common to refer to the stamp as a "notary seal".
Yes. As a notary I have a seal and a stamp that I use when I notarize papers. It is sent to a notary once they have gone through a fingerprint check and giving an oath.
Yes, you can use both a notary stamp and a notary seal on a document, but it's important to understand that they often serve similar purposes. A notary stamp typically contains the notary's information and is used to imprint the document, while a notary seal may be an embossed or raised seal used for added security. However, the requirements can vary by state or jurisdiction, so it's best to check local regulations regarding notarization practices.
YES
No, not unless it's referring to something like the Notary Seal.
Yes, the complete notary seal typically needs to be visible on the document to ensure its authenticity and validity. The seal should include the notary's name, title, commission number, and the state where the notary is commissioned. If any part of the seal is obscured, it may lead to challenges regarding the legitimacy of the notarization. Always check your state's specific requirements, as they can vary.
Describe, or define "realign" (???)
In the U.S., the notary's stamp or seal is affixed next to their signature or immediately underneath their signature, in the appropriate notarial certificate. Notaries can not simply "sign and stamp" without appropriate notary wording already provided on the document.
To properly make a certified copy, a notary must compare the copy to the original document and confirm that it is a true and accurate reproduction. They must then stamp or seal the copy with their official notary seal and sign it to certify its authenticity.
You have to go to a notary public, present ID, and then sign the document in the presence of the notary public. Then the notary public attaches his/her seal to the document, and signs it. There will be a fee for the service, however, many banks have free notary services for their customers.
The stamp goes next to or near the notary's signature. It should NOT cover any text or signature on the document, including the notary's signature and the stupid "notary seal goes here" statement.
No. Absolutely not. It is a requirement to have a VALID NOTARY SEAL to legitimize the document.
