I was wandering if any one has seen some thing like this before the front looks right but the back side if off.
I have a note like that, although it is a much older note and generally worth more than yours is. I think I was told it was worth about $150. One thing to point out though is that my note is a little nicer than yours and it isn't taking into account the fact that it is a "funnyback". As for yours in that wrinkled condition (at least looks wrinkled from the scans) I would say value of about $50-$75. Normally faulty alignments are a common error and yours would be in the "minor" category, so no major bucks.
Adam, you might want to place that note between some pages of a book for a while, under some weight to help it relax a little, but do not try to flatten the note by any action that would alter the paper surface nor stretch the paper fibers. If the paper relaxes some after time spent in books it could improve eye appeal, but usually what's done is done with paper. Wrinkles are not normally reversible without some degree of noticeable alteration to the original paper surface unless seeking the assistance of a professional paper restoration expert. Even then, such a note is bound to be noted with 'restoration' in the eyes of a TPG like PMG.
Well thanks for all the info guys. My grandpa found it laying on the ground in 1981 so that is how he found it and it has just been sitting in a case he all ways just thought it was counterfit
Any chance you can post better photos, these are too blurry to judge if it's fake or not. Regardless, reselling error notes is usually aided if the notes have been graded by one of the top two currency TPGs: PMG or PCGS Currency. The ability for fraudsters and the prescience of fakes in the market, especially on sites like eBay for instance, make uncertified notes more suspect by serious collectors. It may be worth authenticating the note by seeking the services of a TPG.
The dollar is at my grandpa's house and all i had was my phone but thursday I'm going back over there and will get better photos. I'm still kind of new to this so what is a TPG? And how do i find one?
"Third Party Grader" such as PMG or PCGS Currency These are companies that encapsulate notes, certify/authenticate and place numerical and other notations of grade upon the notes related to their condition.
