Over-inked Seriel Numbers

Any value in over inked seriel numbers? Notice how the 3 is bolder than the rest of the digits. Thoughts? I have opinions, but don't want to voice them until I hear yours. Appreciate your help!

No added value I'm afraid. Thanks for posting anyways.

 

I have to agree with Sal. If there is any value, it’s not much.

 

Nope

 

I have seen notes like this once in a while, but I always return them to circulation.

 

Over inking can appear many ways on a note. For a serial number to be over inked it’s something you don’t see everyday but it really doesn’t raise the premium on a note either and it does happen more often that one would think.

 

The more ink the better. This is a common thing and one digit slightly over inked is not going to draw a premium.

 

Thanks everyone! I had a feeling and I've always sent them back to the bank, but I do thinj they're cool and wish they were a thing.

 

If several digits are heavily over inked or an area is real smushy with ink than that is probably good. 1 digit that is just bolder than the rest won't get the carrot. It's like when the entire line of digits are high or low. If they are only a little high or low it's nothing. But if they are drastically higher or lower then there is a premium.

 

When I strap hunt I come across many of these. Too many to be worth anything. However I did save a nice crispy set of overinked 0 through 9 just for the heck of it.

 

Just keep one note and add to your collection.

 

Not if it's a twenty. Right into the wife's pocket.
