Would this be considered as an error on a $2 bill?

So I was sorting my $2 notes by year and I noticed on my 1976 series the green stamp (serial & stamp) is off.
You can see how close it is to D.C and the seal is lower of course. Compared to the other notes some are stamped high and low but this one is tilted as well.

What are your thoughts?

Just a minor variation, no extra value.

 

i agree! Now if the serial had come in cantact with other parts of the notes design, then more of a premium.

 

I disagree...I came across this $1 error and nothing is overlapping yet they grade it as so.

PCGS 64PPQ -----
Minor Misaligment of Overprint.

 

just because the gradding co slabbed the note, doesnt mean its more valuable then the same note without the noted error.

I could be wrong, yes, that such a minor alignment issue could bring added premium... i just dont think it does.

 

Agreed. In both cases, the misaligned $2 and the PCGS graded $1, they are common misalignments, perhaps slightly out of BEP tolerances warranting PCGS to call them an error, but not that dramatic (overlapping other features) to command that much of a premium, if any. And I suspect it would be pretty hard to recoup the grading fees on that $1 note at that!

 

I agree but this is a 76' note and in another 30 yrs it could be a keeper. Eitherway, this is an error. That was my question. Not the cost of value.

 

In terms of errors, it's quite slight. It barely warrants the title of error, regardless of the slab labeling. I feel this way because misaligned 3rd prints are very common, in varying degrees, and unless they overlap other features of the note or the seal, for instance, completely misaligned off the "one" or "two" it's just not that dramatic to take the title of error. IMO.

 

What Krispy said. This is within tolerance at the BEP--if the BEP inspector saw this note, they'd let it through. That's why it's not an error.

This is not the sort of question where I'd trust a TPG's opinion very much. The TPGs want to keep their customers happy, so if somebody submits a note and wants it labelled as an error, the TPG is going to label it that way if they can find any flimsy justification at all for doing so.

 

It all depend,s on who,s buying!

 

I second mpcusa's post. It always depends on who is looking at it and who is interested on buying it!
