Before, I commit to anything, I need to know more about it. What kind of error is it? Is it worth a premium? If so, what is it worth? The bill is in AU condition. I know very little about US currency, but I told him that I would ask around to see what I could learn. Report this Post to the Staff

If the numbering wheels were still wet with residue the applied ink would then be diluted and would "splash" when they impact the paper. Notice how the splashes all are in the same direction towards the top of the note. That's my opinion until somebody else comes up with a better explanation! Report this Post to the Staff

It does have some condition issues including dinged corners and a crease or five. Personally I don't think this will carry a premium but I'm not an error expert. Will let those guys chime in.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 09/10/2016 8:29 pm I think you could get a premium for it because it's a star and it's messed up., However, it probably would be something like a $1 premium. I'd love to find out if it would go for more .... Maybe try posting pics to some paper dealers...? Report this Post to the Staff
notehunter494 Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 11/20/2016 5:11 pm That is way cool. Over inking on a star note to the point that it looks like green flames coming from the digits. $20 to $40 bucks on ebay as is which, to my eye, is XF. Too bad its not CU. Report this Post to the Staff
