My wife and I went in to get some pages and slips for some other bills we've pulled from circulation when she came across this(+1,will post in newest acquisition). With a quick glance on eBay, i seen it was a fair price. My question, does the alignment make any difference(good or bad) for this bill?
The upper margin is a little thin, but they printed almost 6 million of these 1929 $5 Chicago District FRBN's, so if you wanted to upgrade you could. The centering may affect the price you get for the note if you end up trying to sell it.
I thought the lower part was more noticeable. You're able to see the word cashier that was blacked out on the other bills I looked at. Also the title of the govner on the left is down into the background.
You can also see the alignment error where the words "SERIES OF" crosses into "OR BY LIKE DEPOSIT" on the top left. There were a great number of these notes printed, so the value will not go very high. You might be able to get a decent premium if you get it graded and certified as an alignment error from PCGS or PMG. Some alignment shifts are minor and within the QA threshold, and won't get an error qualification. I think this one might. If you sell it raw, you might get a small premium from the right buyer.
