    David Post Good times

    Since getting back into collecting, I am just looking at EVERYTHING for just a little too long. Just wonder how it made it this long without getting ripped off although I guess I don't know how long it was when it left the mint or wherever they make paper money.

    Nice fold over error.

    That's a nice little folding error. But how is it my fault? :)

    Look at how uneven the bottom margin is. It seems likely the note is not so much a fold over error but was rather poorly cut by some individual either by accident or otherwise. That, or it could be a cutting error but who can say for sure whether it happened at the BEP?

    Cutting of notes is by a machine in large stacks. This is a folding error.

    Actually, judging by the uneven bottom border, I think it's probably just damage--the note was normal when it left the BEP, and later had an encounter with an exacto knife or razor blade. Note that the "extra" paper actually falls *within* the boundaries of the original note, rather than being a flap that should have been trimmed off. Besides, position C3 is internal to the sheet, so I don't quite see how a folding error at the BEP could result in this note looking the way it does....

    Bingo. Aside from the plate position observation, this is exactly what I was thinking. I just didn't express these observations in as much detail and wanted to give the benefit of a doubt.

    Doesnt really look right to me, lets face allot of people out there can
    do just about anything to alter a note, to give it that exact apperance
    Desired.
