This note should be sent to a TPG, it needs to be authenticated and preserved... |

Can anyone recommend a TPG in the Oakland, San Francisco area? I am not knowledgeable about this. |

I kind of the new kid on the block here. I have seen alot of odd errors over the years but never one like this. I no expert on errors but I know it well worth keeping. I could only dream of finding such a awesome bill..lol. Just hang on to it I sure someone out there would like to add it to their collection and if it is real it might well be one of a kind. Just a classic example that even Uncle Sam makes mistakes. Nice of you to share it with everyone you got something some of only dream of finding but that all the fun.. " The thrill of the hunt ! "

Well, I went to a bookstore today and found a book about currency notes. It had a little section in the back about Fed Reserve Note errors and it would appear my error is pretty common. The value was stated at about $100. Think I'll just hang on to it. It is more fun as a conversation piece than any $100 might be.

You can never go by the values in any books because they had to be written, then proof read and then go through the printing process and then distributed and so on and so on. So the values they give can be correct at the time of them writing it but be way off by the time it gets in someones hands to read it. Then we don't know what date the book you read was published either. I can tell you I have not seen one exactly like it on this forum in the almost 7 years I have been a member of this forum and have seen lesser errors sell for more on ebay than the book you had quoted. Believe me I am not saying $100.00 for a $1.00 bill is anything to laugh at I am just saying in an auction format where two or more collectors want the bill it can bring more than the book quoted it being worth |

Frederick Bart of 'Executive Currency' sent me this email today:
"Good afternoon Chris,
Although it is somewhat unusual, it is not especially valuable. Because it has been used so heavily, it appears to have a wholesale value of around $50, which is the amount that we would pay.
My very best,
Frederick J. Bart"
So I guess a wholesale value of $50 is about $100 retail and thus confirms the book I looked at recently.

RAW notes in that condition...seem to be going for $100 to $200 on ebay. Graded $250 and up. When I quoted the price a few pages back I got the price from Stephen Sullivan's book - error note encyclopedia. Quote:
Because it has been used so heavily Also, Fred is placing a lot of emphasis on the condition of the note...still a nice error any day of the week. |

I would never sell that note to someone that didn't understand the uniqueness of it. Show me another like it in any condition. I think the value should reflect that. I'm thinking I wouldn't let it go at all because the collector value is greater than the monetary value to me.

Trust me....I work retail, when a dealer says it is "worth such and such wholesale" and is willing to give 100% of that value without even dickering....it is worth a lot more! My guess...if you indeed sold it for $50 to that dealer he would have it on his shelf for $250.I have zero doubts about my assessment of the deal.

I'm always just so surprised that notes such as this actually manage to get so well circulated before somebody notices the glaring error and pulls it out of circulation...
