I've got 20 $1 silver certificates that my dad gave me years ago. Sixteen of them are consecutively numbered. The other four are in the same series but two are, strangely, missing. My dad worked in a savings and loan (remember those?). They're wrapped in a $50 band with his initials and stamped November 9th, 1964. This particular one was printed somewhat off-center. I know that they're not worth much; certainly nowhere near their sentimental value. But I thought that you paper aficionados might appreciate them.
I really like the V prefix on the serial mumber. I have a couple in X and Y prefix. It seems like I don't see many of the later alphabetical prefixes. The off-set is interresting, because the mint let it go. It must be just in the tolerance of accepablity. Is the reverse off-set the same?
Did your dad set these aside because of the off-set printing error? I would keep them due to the familial aspect.
More a cutting error on the part of the BEP appears to be. Still very very cool to find that many notes that have been together that long. A few months ago I got 12 consecutive Series 1963 notes that someone deposited to my credit union.
I have several C/U *STARS* from 1957 but they made so many the value is only about $25-$30 The 35,s are about tripple the price add in a star 4-times
Thanks for the replies, everyone! Sorry for not responding sooner (busy weekend). You know what alurid...I did not even thing to look at the reverse of that note. They're back stashed again. The next time I go rummaging, I'll have to have a look. And, AA...I strongly suspect that my dad never even noticed the error. I think that he just brought home a handful of bills one day. It was in the middle of the stack and the only one that I saw that exhibited it. Nope. They're not going anywhere. My dad also had a Cy Young autograph. It's not worth enough for me to part with it. Like these bills: Worth far more in sentimental value.
