Fake or mistake?

I've never seen a bill that was cut like this. Is this a mistake or a fake?

Very nice misaligned cut note I'm pretty sure it's real,how did you get it?.

 

That happens. That's nice and wide.
Ideally you want to be able to see a small part of the next note.
But for a dollar I would put this in a sleeve and hold it.

 

I believe it’s real. The BEP hasn’t issued any series 2017A $1 sheets.

 

Looks real and it would be called a misaligned cut at the BEP. Protect and keep it safe as it looks to be in decent shape.

 

BEP has offered the 2017 uncut sheets (https://www.coinworld.com/news/prec...cut-sheets-of-series-2017-1-dollar-notes.html).
The current information, so far, is the F-A block has been offered, which your note is not, so . . .
Do you own this note?
How did you obtain it?
What are the exact measurements?

If it is authentic, then it would demand a premium over face, IMO.

 

No reason to think this note is not authentic. It happens.

 

Alright guys, I've been kicking myself for the last week. I thought I spent it or lost it,, misplaced,, whatever, for the last week. I gave up the search,, defeated,, when alas! I found it hiding in some papers. Phew!
Thanks for the info.. Yes, I own this bill. I received it as a tip from work. I am a server at the Country Club in town. An
d as for measurements; not sure if this is what you're looking for 6 1/8x 2 5/8. Does that sound right?[/QUOTE]

 

Glad you found it.
Just compare its size to another note in your wallet.

 

Put it some place safer than with a stack of papers. Glad you found it.

 

Personally, I would invest in sending it to PMG, or other TPG, and have it "slabbed."

 

Thank you.. It was a tip from a customer at the Country Club where i work.. QUOTE="potty dollar 1878, post: 8158293, member: 114675"]Very nice misaligned cut note I'm pretty sure it's real,how did you get it?.[/QUOTE]

 

Also, place it in a currency sleeve to protect it. Then keep it out of the sunlight. Some people place such in a frame and hang it in a highly sun-lighted room. Not good on any paper products. Do not bend, fold it. If dirty do not try to clean it.

 

May have seemed like a measly tip when you got it, but that is not from a BEP sold sheet and as others have noted above it has some value based on the amount of misalignment when it was cut. I know you didn't get it from me - I only give out $2 bills as tips - preferably in multiples of $2!

 

There are all kind of odd ball notes,
mis aligned notes aren’t that
uncommon, but a cool find none
the less

 

I'm sorry, what does IMO mean?

 

In My Opinion

 

Thank you.

 

I'm thinking about selling on ebay.

 

I needed to think this out.
Then I remembered how crazy things are on Ebay Numismatically. So many crazy and uninformed people bidding on common PMD and in this case, a common Misalignment.
Let us know how it does on Ebay if you decide to go that route.
