[QUOTE="funkee, post: 1496838, member: 37925"]I personally find an off-center note to be less valuable than a perfectly centered note. I would personally need to see at least part of the next note on the opposite margin, before I would consider it to be an error. Keep in mind that a lot of people are selling mis-cut sheets on ebay, and pawning them off as BEP errors. One way to tell is to look for serial numbers that were sold in sheets by the BEP directly to collectors. Even though the margins may be off on a note, it can be either a cutting or printing error. If the obverse and reverse of the note are aligned, you're likely looking at a cutting error. If the obverse and reverse of the note are not aligned; for example, the obverse is perfectly centered, while the reverse is significantly shifted, then you likely have a printing error.[/QUOTE]
