This is known as an offset error; they're fairly common, but definitely collectible. Wild guess is $10-$20, although error notes aren't exactly my specialty.
It is a partial face to back offsett error..... Please ost an image of the face so we can get a better idea of where the note originated from. RickieB
Thanks for the responses. Sorry about not posting it the first time, the front is pretty ordinary but i didn't think about the info on it.
New pics. Not only can you tell that there is extra ink on the back, but since it's kind of doubled up it feels almost a little gummy.
My same advice from another thread where you mentioned this note, but here for you too... A scan would be a much better option for the resolution and detail and so that the lens of any camera doesn't distort the shape of the notes. The lighting too would be greatly improved with a scan of the note. It's impossible to use these pics to judge your note any better, but it really requires an expert looking at the note in hand and under magnification to do that anyway. With that said, just because you can "feel" the ink, doesn't mean it's a legitimate "error" note. "Gummy" doesn't even sound right as the inks from the BEP should never have that feeling once they have dried. Sounds like a big red flag to me that this is bogus. As well, you should not be rubbing your bare hands on the note, as that is a HUGE no-no, since oils from your hands are transferring to the paper of the note every time you do this and you risk affecting long term conservation of the note, especially if it should turn out to be authentic. It's an error of a novice collector to be mishandling their collection in such a way and points out that you may not be qualified to judge your note authentic. For your note, I would again recommend the same course of action as I have the OP of this thread, get it reviewed/certified by a TPG.
Like I said, I got it in money back from someone else, when I first got it I had no idea what was wrong with it and it felt funny, so I checked it out, sue me. This is the first time I've even looked at it since I originally posted the first pictures.
I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but it always seems people get so defensive when someone casts reasonable doubt on something shown on these forums. If you knew anything about the proliferation of fake error notes you would understand. You really should take this note not at face as an error, but take it to an expert to verify that the trust you have laid in its authenticity supports you defensiveness. I'm just trying to protect you and potentially others in the collecting community. Such a note requires due diligence and educating yourself about errors and fakes.
It's no problem. I know who I got the bill from doesn't have a printing press or even an ability to draw a straight line, so they didn't do it, and they likely got it from the bank, what happened before that is anyone's guess. I'm basically just saying that it feels like extra ink on it rather than bleeding through or something like that.
Well, technically it does have extra ink on it, and would likely be offset from another sheet that touched your notes sheet during printing before inks dried and where an error in printing the other sheet had occurred. If you are serious about the note start by visiting a coin dealer who knows notes and see if they would advise you to send the note to a TPG or if they think it's fake and not worth it. If they tell you not to send it in to a TPG but offer to buy the note, politely decline and do more homework on the note first, as they may believe it's potentially authentic and seek profit from it themselves. There is always the chance it could be authentic, we can't say from pics shared online, but scans would be better...
