Just recently found in my wallet a $20 note that has a very unusual marking on the reverse side. The strange marking is on the lower left side directly above the 20 ..I have attached a couple of photos for you to see. Bill appears to have the appropriate watermarks and security strip. Any idea what this may be and what may be it's value?
30 views and not even a comment? Just looking for some advice here guys/gals. Never seen anything like this and was hoping for some guidance.
From my novice eye, it doesn't appear to be an impression that was stamped on. The edges of the mark appear smooth and not blotchy like you would see on a stamped on image. The mark itself closely resembles a portion of the numeral 2, but I cannot find anything to match it on any currency. At a loss as to what this is.
Not having it in hand, I'm still guessing it's a stamp. But, wait till some of the others look at it. Give them time, not everybody is on here everyday.
Yep, That's what I call a modern chopmark. US notes circulate all across the world. As they pass through currency exchanges they are verified to be genuine notes. A lot of times they will put a rubber stamp on the back of the note, such as this one telling the other people who work at the exchange... and other exchanges locally that this is a genuine US $20 note. You usually see them on higher denomination notes.
Appreciate the info LostDutchman. So pretty much, I have a $20 with a mark on it? Oh well, makes for an interesting conversation piece. Thanks for looking at this.
I need to talk to some one about my husband,s and I $20 misprint. It has a spider marking directly above the 20 mark on the bottom left sidelike yours does. It so weird I wonder what its worth can you help us? Email is lesadooley@yahoo.com
