[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1047790, member: 19065"]I think you should heed all of our caution we are giving you before selling this note so quickly and take some time to do some research first. You could do quite well $$$ with this note if you take your time with it and you may even learn a lot about currency in the process. Firstly, your note wasn't printed in New York as you are assuming.

Currently, the only other [URL="http://www.moneyfactory.gov/tours.html"]BEP printing facility[/URL] is in Fort Worth Texas. If it was from Fort Worth there would be a small FW notation on the face in a different location. Please understand that serious bidders [U]WILL[/U] doubt the authenticity of such an error note as there are many fake error notes. There are many devious tricks that scammers use, altering non-error notes to fool bidders on sites like eBay. A TPG like [B][URL="http://www.pmgnotes.com"]PMG[/URL][/B] or [URL="http://www.pcgscurrency.com"][B]PCGS Currency[/B][/URL] should be seriously considered in your case. The expense and time involved in this process will very likely pay for itself when you try to sell the note after it has been graded and authenticated. Not that I think your note is fake from what you have shown us, but should you already be in possession of an altered note (fake error), and you sold this note (you sound rather unfamiliar with currency, which is why I say this) you could be in some trouble with an unhappy collector/buyer and eBay, even damaging your reputation as a seller. I urge you to take some time with this and to help NUMBERS with the info he has requested. It can all build a strong case for identifying a very special error that you seem to be in the possession of, one of the high points of being a collector![/QUOTE]
