I'm guessing more like $500 to $1000. Error collectors also like *rare* types of errors, and inverted characters in the serials certainly...
Right. The green Treasury seal is also printed separately from the serial numbers--so the overprint has three individual components, two of which...
Offsets are always reversed. An offset occurs when the press misfeeds and tries to print without any paper present, so that the ink intended for...
These B..* mismatches began turning up in circulation in late 2010, which means that by now they've been circulating so long that not many are...
Really? I've got 31 recorded serials, and while I'm sure Bart et al. have more information than I do, it's difficult to believe that there've...
This 1935 $1 invert is new to me, but there are quite a few others known. I'm aware of: 1928 $100 K..* and L..* 1935E $1 *..D 1935G $1 *..G...
Some of this is out of date. The 20,000-sheet standard run was increased to 40,000 in 1980, then 100,000 in 1983. In 1989 it was increased again...
Rick's information is outdated. There have been four runs of the 2009 $1 A..* printed so far: Run 1 is A00000001* to A00640000*, a run of...
No, the $50 was already colorized in 2004, and this $100 is part of that same design generation. Now that the new $100 is finally in...
It is unclear to me why you think "can be destroyed by metal tools" is a fatal defect in an object that's made of *paper*. Surely few $100 notes...
For those who don't want to do the math: As of September, the total printage of Series 2009A $100's is 51,552,000 stars vs. 4,009,600,000 regular...
If you're lucky, that one might be an inverted-W error. Probably not, since its serial number is a bit higher than the highest known error...
As the linked thread notes, these "state" bills aren't printed that way by the government. Some private company gets stacks of $2 bills from a...
This is type 2. Type 1 wouldn't have the charter numbers 4872 printed in brown near the portrait, just the ones in black at the sides. In...
On U.S. currency, the IR features are on the back side. The green intaglio printing is actually done with two different green inks, one IR-dark...
Here's one for $13,450. By the way, if you look at the other star packs on that dealer's site, you'll notice that the premium isn't any...
Several different interesting things have been going on at the BEP lately, and in order to keep track of it all, I could use some help looking for...
This series had the signatures overprinted along with the seal and serials. Since the signatures are present, it's not a missing overprint....
Devil's advocate: True, but it's also wise for a relative newbie to start with smaller purchases. You don't want to spend $300 on one note unless...
Well, one of the main reasons why banknotes typically feature portraits is as an anti-counterfeiting measure. Humans are very good at recognizing...
Separate names with a comma.
