Below is a scanned image of a dollar bill in the collection willed to me. I've never seen one like this. Is it valuable beyond its novelty or the odds of it surviving to go into circulation? ^^ What do you think? thank you!
WOW, not TOO normal I have to say. It's like the background, and the check digit 6 is terribly messed up! Nice one there.
I think the error is called an Offset Printing error! I would suggest looking at completed eBay Auctions for a possible value of the note. The bill appears to be VF to EF in condition and I would guess that it would fetch at least 20x times face value and possibly more. Good luck...Frank
Based on 2005 Redbook of US paper currency: Shifts or misaligned overprints While minor shifts are easily found in circulation, major displacements are more rare and thus more valuable to collectors. A shifted overprint will fetch $50 - $100 over face value, depending on the grade (VF or Unc). A shifted overprint appearing on a star note is more valuable. Personal opinion... yours does not appear to be of the major catagory... maybe $10. Anything is possible on ebay, they sell a piece of toast with a jelly stain of Elvis for $5000. Nice error note though. :thumb:
