[QUOTE="lettow, post: 1142457, member: 6986"]I do not doubt that this is a genuine $1.00 bill. My doubts are whether the error is legitimate or something done after the note had been released to circulation. One thing that you have to understand is that no one, regardless of their expertise, should be telling you that this is a genuine error note based on viewing it as a scan. The only way to determine with any degree of accuracy whether this is a genuine error is to view the note in person. There are some notes that have been altered after release that are easy to discern as faked errors based on knowledge of how notes are printed. As an example, my wife brought a similar note home from the school she teaches at. The cashier at the food service held it back because she thought it strange also. IN this case, the Fed seal was also somewhere on the note that it should not be. That note was easy to detect as a fake error because none of the other design elements that should have been shifted also were not. What makes your note intriguing is that the design elements that should be moved with the Fed seal (the Fed numbers) are moved also. What makes me question whether this is a legitimate error is the lack of the lower Fed numbers from the note above which I would expect to see on this note. There may be an explanation as to why these numbers do not appear, however, which is why I have also suggested you take it to an expert to examine in person.[/QUOTE]
