Has the front of this $2 bill been printed off center?

Good evening all
I came across this $2 bill earlier and noticed the front print is almost touching the bottom edge and noticed none of my others are like this. Is this a common error ( if an error at all? ) any help would be much appreciated

That particular note is an example of a Misaligned Overprint (Shifted 3rd Print). In terms of value I cannot give you a concrete answer, but perhaps @SteveInTampa might have more information for you. However, I doubt that there is any major premium attached to this note due to the relatively minor nature of the error and the overall condition of the note itself.

 

Common on many notes .Faulty Alignment Error. Some are more pronounced . Some people collect them. I like them more Misaligned .

 

Not truly special,in that condition to me its my $2 all those crease folds etc really isn't the best.It would most likely need to be clean,problem free and crisp for any extra value.But hey if you like it a priceless treasure.

 

Thank you all for the replies and info, I’m just happy I was right regarding it being misaligned, I know the folds have made it poor condition which is a shame but I suppose I will keep hold of it as it’s the first one I have found ( at least until I find a nicer example and upgrade it lol ) thanks again

 

Poor quality control at the Bureau!

 

PM me a mailing address and I'll send you a mint-condition bill with near-perfect alignment, with my compliments.

 

Look at the green printing, the third printing. Especially the right serial number, it’s too far to the right. Shame that bill was folded like it was.

 

It appears that the half-sheet was slightly misaligned for the 3rd print (overprint) and it remained that way through the stack into the cutting process causing both a minor misalignment and a poorly centered note. It’s unfortunate that the note was later used for origami…

 

I think the third printing is exactly where it is supposed to be. The first printing was was slightly out of alignment towards the bottom of the note. If you look at the note and ( in your mind) adjust the second printing upward to produce a small margin at the bottom, you will see the third printing ends up where it is supposed to be. If the first printing was where it should be, and the third printing looked like this, then it would be a third printing error.

 

Typically, a note that shows a bit of the next bill has more of a premium. I would spend your note without hesitation, but keep what you like.
