Additions To My U.S. Error Collection

I bought these two notes on the weekend. They are consecutive notes with the same error.





Also got a $20 with the same kind of error:

Cool high 8 & 9 , were there any oddities on the reverses ?

 

I won't know until next week when I receive them. I'm anxious to get a good look at them.

 

very kewl! haven't seen this type of error myself before. i can dig it too! nice pick ups. :thumb:

 

Very Cool!
:hail:

 

These go nicely with my Canadian ones that I found in circulation:

 

ikandigit,

I am not much of a currency guy but I got these back in change last week. The cashier gave me $1.00 and some change back and when I got home and emptied my pockets the dollar bill felt a little too thick. With some effort I was able to peel them apart just to discover there were 2 dollar bills & they were consecutives. I am not familiar with how the feds release their cash but I was sort of amazed that these 2 bills have been stuck together in circulation since 2003.

 

That's pretty cool Especially for it's age.

 

Nice pickup's ikandiddit...thats the one thing I like about error notes is that the variety of them has several different attributes in which visually alters the note. The offset's are the errors that caught my attention due to the look it presents. The stuck numbers notes are cool and when you start digging into process is when you really get to understand the error.

Thanks for sahring..:thumb: :thumb:

Added a $10 stuck digit to the collection. Just need a fiver!.....and a fifty and a hundred.....

 

They arrived today. There's a light ink transfer on the two consecutive $1 notes.

 

Picked up this one with multiple gutter folds:

 

It must be nice to be able to acquire truely collectible errors.
I am curious if US coins & currency are as heavily collected there in Canada as Canadian coinage & currency. The reason I ask is that here in the USA it seems like there is an presumption that folks will want to collect what is in the RedBook by default as opposed to Krause World Coins.

 

Very nice notes.. I like the partially turned digit errors as well. Here is some info for you.

"Source" U.S. Paper Money Errors 3rd Edition.

You know this occurs from a clogged numbering wheel on the cylinder. If the wheel locks into place at a certain position, each note thereafter will be indentical. On the other hand if the wheel locks into place initally and then advances slighty, the result is this type of stuck digit error. While it is a mehcanical error, theses are closly related to the mismatched SN type errors.

Nice additions you have there.

Thank you for the explanation. When I first started coming across these types of errors (in Canada), I had found 5 or 6 mismatched serial numbers or missing/stuck digits in a couple of months and I was surprised at how "common" they were. However, when I posted them, I soon discovered that they weren't that common and that I had just been extremely lucky. Some members on one of the other forums search stacks and in 30 years had never found one!

The stuck digit/ mismatched serial numbers/ missing digits errors really get me excited because these are notes that slip past the inspection process and are true mistakes that should have been pulled.

I like some of the other errors and will pick them up if they're affordable. The latest purchase with the multiple gutter folds, while not in pristine condition was only about $40.

Now that I've expanded into U.S. notes as well, I will pick up some reference materials.

As for the popularity of U.S. coin/currency collecting in Canada, there are a good number of collectors just because of the variety and accessibility of the money through the auctions, shows and other sources. Probably a third of my collection consists of U.S..

 

In keeping with the missing digit theme, I picked up a couple more each with a missing digit but this time it was due to insufficient inking not a stuck digit. The note with missing digits in both serial numbers came with the bookend notes which help identify the missing number. All three notes are a pretty nice grade.

The second note has insufficient inking on only one digit on one of the serial numbers.

 

Fantastic pick ups!

 

It would have been nicer if the single one (the last note) was a radar.

 

True, but I like what you have going on with these errors too. Oh well.

 

Kangayou: On the two, one dollar bills stuck together. The "L" upper right, appears to be missing the lower leg, and appears to be a dot.
