A quick update on what I found last night -- I checked the security thread with my jewelers loupe, and it appears to be correct.
I took it a step further. This may be sacrilegious, so forgive me. I took another 2006 $10 I had and washed it in a small tub with some oxyclean to see if I could reproduce the same results. It looks normal -- no discoloring.
The saga continues, I'm confused as to what could have caused it.
Does anyone know of someone reputable in the Oklahoma City area who I could take the note to have it looked at in person?
It certainly passes the counterfeit test, to my untrained eye (watermarks, security strip, etc.,) so I do not believe that to be the case. I took it to the bank the day I found it and they thought it was neat, and agreed with my assessment that it's not counterfeit.
Thank you for all of the info!

In the old days, for sure. But that would not accomplish much today. One dollar notes have no security thread. If this note were a fake printed on a one the security thread will definitely not say USA TEN since there will be no security thread at all. That's the point. Security threads not only have different lettering, but appear at different locations and glow different colors under ultra-violent light, for each denomination. |

When "bleaching" a note is mentioned, we first think of Clorox or other household stuff. If it was that easy, raising denominations would be a lot bigger problem.
Yes, there is prolly much higher concentration stuff that will remove the ink, but not in your home cleaning arsenal.

I remember people were bleaching the $5 note and reprinting it to make it into a $100 note. That is why they had to redesign the $100 note and move and change the security thread. Great eyes for finding it. That is really interesting on the blue ink for the seal and serial #s. There are 24 dealers in your area: http://www.yellowpages.com/oklahoma...ers-suppliesTry someone that knows about coins/notes and not just bullion. I looked over a few and Edmond Coins looks like the best place to try first, since they belong to a few numismatic organizations. http://www.edmondcoins.com/ |

Thanks for the info.
Edmond Coins is actually American Precious Metals Exchange.. I bought some silver bullion there once.
I'll give them a shot.
Thanks again!

What series year is it. I know the new $100's the BEP is printing will have some radical changes to it. This might be a new printing of tens.

Sorry for the lack up updates!
It's a 2006 series note.
I have been unable to find anyone reputable to take a look at it.
It's still laying on a shelf in my closet.. Not really sure how to proceed with figuring out what it is.
Edit -
I'll take some more pictures and get some more details this evening.

Are there any coin dealers in your area that specialize in notes? Look them up in the yellow pages or Google around for them and see what you can find. They might know something about it. Look for any dealers that belong to PMG: http://www.pmgnotes.com/ |

Maybe they ran out of yellow ink.
