<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beaker, post: 1313222, member: 34597&quot;]Hi, I found your great forum while looking for information on this note I received as change the other day. You all seem to be helpful and nice so I thought this may be a great place to ask about this item.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not much of a currency collector myself. I have a small collection of pre-1930&#039;s U.S. coins in my safe, most of which were handed down to me, but I add to it when I find something interesting. The other day I received a 1950 five dollar bill as change at a local gas station, which I found very odd seeing as how it seems to be in very good condition. I was wondering if you folks might be able to give me some information on it. Not just the worth, but perhaps to help me authenticate it. </p><p><br /></p><p>It does have minimal wear and some nice detail in the printing. It feels like authentic currency. The thing that has me concerned is the seal under the word &quot;FIVE&quot; on the right is off center to the right. Is this an error, a feature or a sign of counterfeit? I&#039;m not exactly familial with paper money collecting so it would be nice to know if this is worth keeping or just a good fake. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m including some scans I made of the bill so you might be able to look at it. Should I also make a post in the paper money section? I&#039;m sorry if this is the wrong section of the forum to ask this and moderators please feel free move this to the paper money section if need be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any info at all is helpful. I look forward to seeing what you have to say! Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
