Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 01:57 am Is this a keeper or a spender? It's not far off, but it's enough that it caught my eye instantly when a customer handed it to me today. Report this Post to the Staff

Woodford Valued Member United States 207 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 02:54 am Spender I'd say. Not really an error. Edited by Woodford 04/04/2013 02:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
hajduk Pillar of the Community Germany 645 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 04:31 am I'm sure Woodford is right,that is not enough! Here are other examples. For none of them I paid specially for this. Edited by hajduk 04/04/2013 05:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
jim61 Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 08:50 am Dasalo, it is a spender, sorry. hajduk, the third one down is a good one to keep as an error. I can see the front is good with pretty well centered margins, and the back is not due to being out of registration. If you look through the note, you will see the first print (back) is outside the second print (front). This is called "out of box" error. The second one down, I can't tell very well. But it looks like the 1st print has been cut to the edge of the note. If some is missing, it would be a good error note as well. Just my HO. Report this Post to the Staff
hajduk Pillar of the Community Germany 645 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 09:09 am Hi jim61, thank you for the information. I think the Large 1918 is a out of box too. Are the bills more valuable like other ones in this condition? Report this Post to the Staff
jim61 Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 09:41 am Yes, the out of box errors are more valuable. The others you showed are not as they are very minor 3rd print shifts - not enough to be worth any premium. For personal collecting and if you like them, then fine, they are enjoyable to collect.

Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 1:01 pm Thanks for the info, it's the first time I've actually had one that was even a little off so I wasn't sure how far it had to be to be considered an error. Report this Post to the Staff
