Great show-n-tell, I like them all. I have a nice collection of U.S. currency but none with errors. Thanks for sharing them.
I have a weird Idea on error coins and Currency. Most anyone can own a rare or semi-rare coin or Currency because in many cases they made so many. BUT only a few can own an ERROR because they are even MORE rare. That's my take on the subject lol
Just remember that it’s all in the error. An error can be made or coins or currency and be repeated many times over. Or, it can be a single error, a one of a kind. I’m sure some would argue but they would be mistaken.
A 1977 Ace missing the first print, or as some collectors call it, a Blank Back. And a 1974 $1 note that was part of a sheet that received an inverted overprint.
you are correct as in the 1955/55 cent. But I have a 1914-D cent with a small peel planchet. Most would shed a tear looking at it but I prefer it. THAT'S what collecting is all about, fun and personal desires.
Steve and Jersey encouraging to see you guys sharing your wares...quality stuff...nicely presented!! Thanks to others as well.
The bill that the op posted maybe but I can’t tell from those photos. The bill that another member posted that the op & I were discussing as a partial offset printing error is not misscut.
I don't own any currency errors. I like to look at them, but, what does the Treasury Department say about owning a Currency Error. Would/should the bills be confiscated and given a replacement bill of the same denomination. The other thought (if my thoughts are worth anything) that I have, can the errors be traced back to an employee and what legal steps be taken on the employee. It would seem that the employees that are managing the printers, should have personnel actions taken against them and the possession of the error bills should be illegal. I know that collectors of error bills wouldn't think that personnel and legal should be taken. I know that error coins occur frequently. Would the Mint think the ownership of the coins with errors should be challenged as was the 1933 Double Eagle that was confiscated by Treasury Agents. (I'm not sure of the year and the name of the coin because I don't have enough money to buy one. I'm only short about $17,999,999.)
There are errors and there are created errors. Errors happen during the coin minting and the bill printing process but created errors should be dealt with. Created errors are man made. The 1933 Gold Double Eagles are not errors, there were stolen. Only 1 of them was given as a gift and that’s the only one that is a legitimate coin. The stolen coins were not returned to the family as they were stolen.
