I have a 20 dollar bill year 2009. Jg 00780403* that is showing the 20 from the upper bill. Any idea of it's worth. Brand new
Probably just $20. It's just offset ink that wasn't entirely dried after the next sheet of notes rested on top of the other sheet. Photo is needed to help any more than this.
Well, it's clearly not an offset problem as I suggested earlier now that we see this note. However, due to widespread fake cutting errors, this note would have to be submitted to a TPG such as PMG, PCGS Currency or CGA for authentification. I would personally go with PMG. At this time your value is $20 less fees and time spent submitting the note to verify it's authenticity. Let us know what you find out if you do indeed submit the note. You can check out what actual cutting error notes list for from dealers such as US Rare Currency Additionally, I'd love to hear how you came by this note...
I cannot find this note in the http://www.uspapermoney.info/ archives. Usually, uncut sheets have very high serial numbers. I don't think this note is from an uncut sheet. It looks like a legitimate cutting error. This really should be submitted to a TPG for authentication and attribution. Really nice find, Ricardochiari. A star note with a seriously misaligned cutting error? WOW! PS. It's only worth what someone will pay for it. In my opinion, it could go for mid three figures.
I love star notes and one that is also a cutting error would be worth quite a bit to me, if it is authentic. Outstanding bill, I would hang on to it if I were you.
Seems like they were having trouble at the BEP. They messed up the note, so they made a star note with the same SN, then they messed up the star note.
Star notes used as replacements do not have the same serial number as the notes they replace. That is what the star is for. If you read the band that a fresh pack comes in, it tells you that the notes out of numerical sequence have a star on them. If defective notes were replaced with notes with the same serial number, there would be no reason for the star because the notes would still be in sequence. Not all banknote printers use this replacement system for defective notes. Some do replace the defective notes with notes with the same serial number which makes them impossible to identify as replaced notes.
I Live in Panama and found it at a local Bank. Our currency is the dollar herei'll check to see how I may have it authenticatedThanks for the comments
