is it considered an error if the seal is off centered?

Many of these are common, but to an extent, they start to carry premiums. Pictures would be required in order to try to give you an idea on weather you have a true error or not.

Oooooohhh. No, that is not an error, sorry. The seal would have to be touching the serial number below or touching part of the "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" on top. Or, my estimate would be at least 51% of the seal completely out of the '100' mark. Here is my example just for fun. I guess its a little nicer than I rememered it.

Here's a 1950 $10 star i got from a bank.

Wow! The oldest notes I've gotten for every denomination for face out of circulation are as follows the first year is non star and after is star:
$1: 1963A/1995*
$2: 1976/2003*
$5: 1950B and 1950D/2003A*
$10: 1969A/2003*
$20: 1950A/1996*
$50: 1977/1996*
$100: 1974/1996*

I live in Sacramento. Do you live in a more remote area? It seems to me that the most older style notes out there are in the lower populated areas, where cash probably doesn't get around much or older folks holding onto the old cash will spend it or what have you.

Central Valley CA. Yea Ive heardthe same in regards to finding rare notes/coins more in lower populated towns.

Or you can go to a bank that is close to a gas station, or used as a depository for gas stations. I did that and my teller pulls 1928 $20'sand 100's out for me all the time! some people have no choice but to spend them when times are tight.

No kidding ,my friend just picked up a 2009 ASE for ten bucks! from a liquor store,the owner said some kid bought a soda with it.Now my friend is considering to sell it to me for 25 bucks, ill probably buy it.

I would be hesitant to buy it if there's a chance someone could report it stolen.

One time I was actually even with the person who first got me into collecting, and that person told me to use some UNC 1957-1957B star notes to get gas. He gave me the silver certificates and told me to run them into the gas station. In the end, I just pulled out my debt card and covered it and kept them. This does however, prove your point because he normally wouldn't spend such bills at all costs.
