    I see this line going under the eagle. It seems like the line was printed on first before the eagle. Is this an error?

    I respectfully disagree. I see the line OVER the eagle and the micro printing above it.

    Teller's stamp. Common.

    The line if from the bank. A Teller wraps the bills with a paper wrapper, then stamps the wrapper. Sometimes, more often than not, they miss the paper and get it on the bill. Spender.

    I understand what you are all saying. I figured you would all say that. I do want to ask you this though...if you follow the way the ink trail is going, the line should be either straight (if a stamp was used) or if it was a pen/marker it should be some what straight without missing any parts along the route the ink was suppose to go correct?

    INCORRECT!!! It's a Teller's stamp. A self inking stamp used a hundred times a day. The stamp has high and low areas. It picks up dirt, fuzz, paper debris, dust, etc. That builds up on the ink pad which is built into the stamp. That causes high and low areas on the stamp and depending on the amount of ink on the stamp, you'll get what you are describing. No pen, no marker, just ink from the teller's stamp.

    That's the best I can explain it.

    I agree with Collecting Nut. Very clearly a tellers stamp.
