I can see a "remnant" where the seal is supposed to be...

 

Yup. A few of the points on the original seal were not completely removed. A faked error. Not from the BEP like that.

 

ok the seal is clearly not in the right place....

 

Really!

 

Yeah, really!

 

i got it in a bank roll today from wells fargo ha-ha someone made this fake error and deposited it ?!?!? are you 100% for sure? im sorry im just not convinced.

 

Look at, and compare, the color of the paper where the seal is supposed to be and the color of the rest of the paper, you'll see it's different. The original seal was removed through erasure or chemical means.

 

more photos i took with better light i just can believe the length some of these guys/gals would go

 

Believe it. There are many, many unknowing people with money out here.

 

I can't say whether it's a real error or not. I don't collect errors. Too many other things to worry about as it is with non-errors. Quite frankly, I don't understand those that choose to be error collectors. It just adds another layer of vulnerability. Not saying you are an error collector OP. I understand you were given that note by a bank.

 

well i was excited when i saw it now i am disappointed....

 

Try selling it. Take the money you get from it and buy something that does excite you and that you are certain is genuine. At the very least it's worth $2 - assuming the note itself is authentic.

 

another thing that i find odd about this error note that could be fake is if the person trying to make it look fake spent all this time with chemicals and placing everything so well on the bill why would the leave the three dots of ink the traces of the original seal so noticeable just seems like a waste of time and then deposit it to the bank! where i got it from earlier today this just seems ridiculous.

is this bill fake?

 

I vote this note has a strong chance of being real. Would want to see it in hand, but if you go to all the trouble to fake this note, you don't leave a visible remnant like that. Looks like a paper feed issue to me - 3rd print black ink run, alignment problem causes both the off center fed seal and the partial seal caused by the next sheet partially obscuring this sheet.

I don't see the usual, easy to see paper abrasion required to erase the seal.

A better picture - a scan in fact - would be the tell tale sign.

And, in the spirit of giving, I offer face value for this auction...

 

The FED numbers are also misaligned which is usually not the case with the fake error/magic trick note.
