US $20 bill misprint

I have a $20 bill that is missing a minor portion of the ink on the back. You can see an imprint where there is supposed to be ink, but there is nothing there. The error covers approximately 1/3 to 1/2 an inch from the edge into the printed area of the bill.

As far as condition, one corner is slightly bent, and there is a crease down the middle. No other major problems.

I don't have any pics of it yet, but it looks nearly identical to this;

What's the approximate value?

EDIT: It's an earlier series, 1993, I think.

WOW! You have quite the error note. A $20 bill that looks identical to a $50 note. Nice find.

 

Haha, I meant the printing error. It has the back of a $20 note, just the same error as that $50 note.

 

Nothing, I guess?

 

I don't know what it's worth. The ebay seller has more than ten available, so how rare are these?

 

Ebay completed auctions show one completed sale for $100 that's missing almost half the ink on the back. So I'm gonna go ahead and value it at approximately $50, as a complete guess.

 

Dr. Barts US Paper Money Errors lists a 1993 $20 insufficient ink just like that on p.85 for F=$50 EF=$75 CU=$100 must be more than a handfull of that particular year.

 

So somewhere between $50-$75. Thanks!

 

Double post, sorry.
