    I was wondering if someone can tell me if this is faked or a real error. I know the bill is good just not sure if it was altered. Any info would be helpful. Thank you for your time.

    Cazkaboom One for all, all for me.

    The pics are WAAAY to small to see much in detail. I do however see a misprint on the seals. I have my money saying it is an authentic error, it is somewhat hard to fake it. But bigger pics would help.

    Looks like the missprint has been added, not areal error.

    My money is on fake. Other design elements would also be shifted, most notably the FED numbers (12).

    There is a magic trick called "fraud" that involves moving the seal. Look it up. It is not that hard to fake.

    100% fake. They removed the original and added the "misprinted" seal with a custom made stamp.

    If you look at the picture closely, you can see a clean spot where the old seal was located and faint marks from the old seal.

    definitely not a real note. if it was real it wouldn't just be the seal that was out of position. those were floating around ebay like crazy a few years ago

    Actually quite easy to fake, and the OP's note is just one of many.

    Yep, I've run into one of these in the past and it is fake. If you look at it under magnification you would be able to see a faint circle where the original seal was removed. Also, the ink on the new seal will be different than hte rest of the black on the note.
