OK, two 1976 $2 FRN's. There's no question that the overprint is shifted in both of them. The potential debate would be whether they qualify as errors or not. Technically, some aspect of the overprint impedes a design element that it's not supposed to, but it's borderline at best. My personal opinion is that there really isn't a premium for these notes if they are errors or not. But they caught my attention enough to set them aside, so I figured I would share with the community.
Gonna have to go with errors albeit very minor. If it's touching what it shoulkdn't be touching it's an error. I have a fair share of similar notes myself. I've also sold a few and always for a premium (especially when currency was "hot"). Starting to feel that currency will get hot again.
im going to say no, but lol, not as impolite as the poll suggests as clembo says, they are very very minor erros, but not enough to be colletible IMO. its like rotated dies on coins - they are only considered errors if they are rotated about 35 degrees i think is the magic number. So at 20 degrees, its still rotated dies, but not really errors. I trust and believe clembo sold some with a premium, but I guess it comes down maximizing that premium. a slight error wont be worth as much as the real deal. So a coin that is rotated 20 degrees wont get the price tag as a coin that has a 35 degree rotation. Same thinking here. This note might fetch a premium, but nothing close to that of a full mis-print. I would certainly keep them, becuase premium or not, i keep all oddballs i find in circulation. But, they would be some of the first to go if i ever have to sell!
Well said Daggarjon and also the reason I haven't "voted". Yes, these babies are the real deal!! No, and quite wasting my time with this dribble!! I'm not saying these are the "real deal" nor am I saying don't waste my time. Somewhere in the middle actually.
I was just being silly with the comments in the Poll. Don't mind the implications of what is written after the yes or no. In my personal opinion, they are errors, but I personally would not pay a premium for them. The only reason that I consider them errors is because I believe that had a BEP inspector saw these, he would not have knowingly released them for circulation. Now since I found them for face value, they will go into my binder of errors to forever be preserved.
The End results The End results where not what there where intendant to be. When the Mint Personal Notice this "Error" that rush to correct. So it’s a Yes to me Price at (for me) $4-$12 each??
