I think I figured it out I zoomed in on the picture and on the bottom left serial number the C054 part is missing some ink compared to the rest of the serial number. Therefore what I believe is that when the bill was printed the ink was still wet and was folded on itself leaving those marks.
Rest in Peace

I'd keep it.

The district number was also transferred making the 3's look almost like 8's.

Even though it's not a genuine error, it's still interesting.

I was trying to figure out how it happened....and my best guess is that a sheet that was pulled for inspection got folded and the stray marks are not necessarily from the note that you have but from another note on the same sheet.

So in the process of moving the sheet from one place to the other and then back, the sheet 'flopped' over and there you have it.

Maybe.

Would this have any value at all? I am going to keep it either way.

Put it on the bay starting at 99 cents and then you tell us the value

I think I would have to agree with Buddy and I would keep it as a curiosity.

John1, As I scan ebay for certain errors I want, I find numerous sellers listing fake errors everyday.

I get tired of sending the sellers messages that what they have are not genuine errors, and 99% are listing (home made cut from uncut sheets) notes and listing them as mis-cut errors...

What troubles me is that I can not contact the bidder that doesn't know any better, and the seller sending a reply that what I say is my OPINION ONLY.

It is clearly not a BEP error. Someone likely messed with it or it occurred otherwise after being in circulation. I would not put it on ebay, as it would probably generate negative publicity for you and be a headache. Just spend it.

Broken-Coin,
First off "buyer beware". When I said put it on the bay I meant advertise it for what it is. A seller should not try and deceive any one, more so if the seller is a CCF member. And let me reiterate,"buyer beware"

Not a true error in my opinion. The BEP would not have folded it after an inspection("purposely").

You can also see part of the upper right serial number has been transferred over to the left side as the reverse of the B and last 7 are somewhat seen.

Some said that it may of have been caused by going through the washing machine. But I can not find that to be true because there have been many times where I left money in my pocket and it went through the wash, and there was no ink transfer. I feel this kind of "error" would be more common if that were true.
