Nice catch!

Welcome to Coin Talk!

Can you post larger pics? A scan would be better, though.

Have it authenticated and graded by a third party grader such as PMG or PCGS. Your local coin dealer should be able to submit it for you.

 

having it graded would be the best way to get top dollar for the note. since when do ATM's give out dollar bills?

 

I said LIKE it came out of a ATM not that it did

 

That was my first thought haha.

 

Thats a pretty sweet find

 

oh ok. since when do you always get gem notes out of an ATM. i was an ATM custodian at a bank for years and the notes were always beat to ****. very rarely were they crisp notes and if they were they always stuck together causing issues with the ATM. just saying :thumb:

 

That's a killer note bu to fetch top dollar, it needs to be certified. As stated above, pmg and pcgs would certify it and make it more marketable in the process.

 

here are some scanned actual photos if that helps

 

is that better

 

That is a very nice find. Looks to be a nice crisp note. The centering on the front could be better, but the prize is on the other side anyway.

 

what might you think its worth

just trying to get a ball park range of what it might be worth now more than 500? in this condition?, or if i should rather hang on too it? bc the value may go up

 

See these to help with value:

To the opposite of the positive posts, I will enter my typical, cautionary statement about such 'error' notes...

This note, like so many others that appear on this forum, is worth a $1 until you get it certified. Of course someone may be willing to buy it from you uncertified for more than a buck, but that doesn't mean it's an authentic error without having done some more research to see if others from this Series/district and sheet with similar errors exists.

If you think this note will be worth $500 or more, then the time and expense to have a TPG verify it, will more than pay for itself, especially if you intend to resell the note. Selling the note after it has been certified as an authentic error, will usually attract more buyers since it then bears the authority of a TPG and protects the collecting community from those who would try to sell fake error notes.

I don't know if your note is real or fake, I'm not making any judgement about the note as I would only entrust an expert with in-hand inspection to know the answer, and this usually precludes coin shop dealers. No one here can be sure without providing more conclusive evidence for this Series about the legitimacy of this note. Until then, I urge caution and strongly advise you have the note verified by an industry leading Third Party Grading (TPG) company such as PMG, PCGS Currency or CGA.

It is rather important to seek verification as there are way too many fake error notes out there. As I said, we see them every few weeks showing up on this forum. A lot of members give positive comments but offer no way to verify the authenticity. These threads are rarely ever started by regular members of this forum site, and never by the strap-searchers who sort through gobs of cash all the time, especially nothing as dynamic as this error shows up from our regulars. These type of errors always are presented here by brand new members with just a couple of posts, who have no idea about what they have, who then, generally, never take any forum advice that would take time and money to have a TPG certify the note. Nor do such members ever report back with TPG grading results after these threads cool down and are forgotten. We never seem to see these error note bearing members again returning to show off an actual certified note they just happened to find.

Certainly, some people find bad fakes in circulation and want to know what they have. They may even resell the notes and are done with them, never knowing what they may have had nor what they sold or what it could have been worth, certified, if indeed authentic. For all we know some percentage of these type of error note posts are hacks out there trying to see if a fake would pass in a pool of collectors before they try to pass it to a dealer or in an online auction site. Many here applaud anything remotely like this note that they see posted, and many in this thread are not even regularly posting in the Paper Money forum about notes, let alone error notes, to know the difference based on images that just show up here.

The value may indeed go up, if certified authentic. Give it a go and help protect the paper money collecting community against the fakes out there.

 

While such errors exist, we need to see the same Series certified. There are loads of uncertified fakes on eBay, that we cannot go by these listings. If we are citing uncertified notes, then a more secure trading venue, like Heritage Auctions should be cited for raw notes, with the same Series and same error type.

 

This note is clearly well worn. Its surface has been rubbed from circulation, and its evident that it will not lay flat, notice the rippled edge along the bottom margin. There are signs of spots or stains in a couple areas, noticeably on the left face margin area and face bottom right of center margin. Who knows what else we can't see due to the intense light of the scanner having faded the overall color of the note. Some faked errors are washed in chemicals to remove traces of the features thought to be missing, this effects the papers surface, coloration and long term stability... it all requires more professional in-hand inspection to declare it authentic.

As for the centering, we can't tell how well the face is centered, because it was scanned with the note against the edge of the scan bed where margin could not be fully scanned. To avoid this and to help define the full margins, scan the note in the center of the scan bed, and place a neutral gray or solid black sheet of paper behind the note, then scan the note. For the OP and others: centering of the printed features of the note, seeing full equally spaced margins all around, is important in grading and value determinations.

The prize is on both sides of the note, that it's not on the face but rather on the back, if indeed, it's an authentic error.

 

I agree with Krispy that the note is clearly circulated but I will also say I believe the note is 100% authentic. $500 is way on the high side and I doubt you would ever get that from a collector let alone from a dealer. I have owned and sold a few of the exact errors but on different series. As far as errors go they are not that rare and you will more than likely get between $175 and $250 for your example. I would not waste the money to get it authenticated; the only place that will help you is if you sell it on ebay. If that is your plan, then I would go with PMG or PCGS.

 

What are your diagnostics for determining this note in question is authentic, as judged solely by the pictures? I'm sure we can all learn if you can inform us about this. While I said previously to rickmp's post that these errors certainly exist and you also confirm this, neither of you have shown evidence of this note's Series, print run to have had the same errors turn up. Your experience is with other Series, not this one. We still need expert opinon, and if the note is certified authentic, it would increase potential value compared to being sold raw, unless the OP enlisted a bigger auction house, as I suggested earlier, one's like Heritage who sell raw error notes and can be entrusted the note isn't a fake.

 

The most obvious to me is the fact that all of the third printing is aligned on the back, something I have never seen on a fake error. (They usually just move one seal) and the quality of the printing is another indicator. Also you will notice that the embossing from the printing adds up as there is no evidence of prior stamping on the front. All this can be seen from the picture and it just looks “right” to me. Unfortunately you seem to have some sort of attitude about this so no doubt you will find something wrong with my explanation. So if you look here:
http://www.donckelly.com/error/1995$1_3rdonback.html
or here:
http://usrarecurrency.com/1995$1FederalReserveErrorNoteSnK26901476E.htm
You will see that 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] printing errors for this series are quite common, like I said in my first post.

 

There's no attitude in requesting more than someone's word for something that they haven't in-hand to inspect nor originally provided further evidence of this error occurring in the same Series. The thread is much better now for your having added further detail for why you feel the error is authentic. Thank you for the details. It helps us all understand these far better.:thumb:

Also, the Don Kelley note has an asking price of $450. The US Rare Currency note doesn't appear to have an ask price listed, but he commonly doesn't sell many of the errors in his gallery either.
