I have a 1995 series $1 bill with a printed fold error. I'm trying to find out what it is worth. I have looked it up in the Standard Catalog of United States Paper money, 2007, so I think I have a general idea. But I wanted to hear from you experts. This is not something I have done as a regular hobby. I received this bill as change years ago (probably in 1995 or 1996) and have kept it safe and flat ever since. In my opinion, it is in Extremely Fine condition. It has very light wear on it. I took it to a coin shop here in town and found out what they "would give" me for it, but after looking it up, I think they thought I must be a sucker. I will tell you what they offered me after I hear from some of you. I'm going to attach some pics of it. Kathy
Which is exactly why *I* held onto it. Even though my husband and I have quite a collection of coins, I would use the term "collector" very loosely in reference to us. But I still knew not to use that dollar, and instead to hang onto it. Kathy
I am Canadian so the prices will probobly be higher for American bills with this error, but a 1 dollar canadian with this error goes for 30$ ( according to Charlton)
That's a cool piece of work! Not everybody thinks that way. Anything that doesn't appear to belong or look "right" is a candidate to get tossed.
Hi, Sweet note. According to the Whitman U.S.Currency Guidebook the value inVF is $150 , in XF $300., and inUnc $450. Great snag. John
Hello ... The example that you are showing is indeed nice! To me that note looks AU, but hard to tell without holding it. I would send it off for certification to PCGS or PGM if you are interested in selling the note. I have seen examples like these go from 150.00 to $400 and more depending on condition, signatures and FRB locations. It is indeed a nice note and top get this in circulation is hard to believe, but it happens. Good luck. RickieB
I am no expert by any means....but errors like these are rare to find in circulation...it may be in your best interest to certify it and sell it at auction if you intend to sell it at all. RickieB
I don't think it's worth more than a dollar. Just try putting it in a vending machine for a soda. :goofer: I think you should also get it graded as well - it makes it more marketable and you can certainly recover the cost when/if you sell it.
ill tell you what .. i will give you 2.. TWO $1 notes for that single $1 note.. think about it.. in the end .. you will double your money you just cant lose!! i would also get it certified. 1) it will help protect the note from any future damage. and 2) as pointed out.. it will certainly bring a higher price if sold.
