    Yes, a little to the left. Enough to warrant a premium? Dunno.

    IMO, at least the numerical district designator's (the 4 "10s" on your note) have to be touching the outline print of the note so I would personally spend this note, because the note in your picture is something I see all day everyday.

    The note wouldn't even be classified as a minor misaligned overprint.

    From United States Paper Money Errors, A Comprehensive Catalog & Price Guide by Dr. Frederick J. Bart, page 171, "For a misalignment to legitimately qualify as an error, a portion of the overprint must rest atop a portion of the design it was not intended to cover. Despite excellent quality control within the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), minor variances in position are within acceptable tolerance limits."

    Spender, not reconized as an error by any TPG's.
