Thanks for getting back so quickly!! Just for my education, how would the "solvent smear" occur? I wish I had the money at the time to buy the entire 50 bill wrap!! As I mentioned the back of the bills look just fine. Where would you "suggest" getting them authenticated? Will be picking up some storage envelopes.

Have quite a few of these uncirculated smudged U.S. dollar bills How many of the 50? 8 / 16? Are SN 48 and 50 totally covered OR is that just the pic OR Is SN 49 more representative of the background whiteness of the notes in general? Printing plates are cleaned with solvents and then wiped clean (this is an automated process). If the cleaning mechanism (wiper) does not wipe the "solvents" clean the solvent remains on the plate, gets on the sheet with printing ink creating the smear depending on how much solvent was still left on the plate (large / small Area). As per grading there are numerous co's doing it. PCGS is probably the most recognized name currently. I would check to see when they run specials. Error grading costs about $15 and up per note. The reason I suggest grading is that "based" on what you have said so far these are "legit", they are high grade notes and you having them running in sequence and will fetch greater than $100 per note IF sold as "one" lot based on grade. (JMO) My only concern is that right corner and not sure IF or how much it is going to knock the grade down. Do not try to counter fold or mess with that corner -- leave it as it is. It may straighten itself out once you get it into a currency sleeve "gently". You have had these for this long so take your time with it and research it out. Goggle Below is their website. Check the section on "grading Standards", "numeric scale" as well. http://www.pcgscurrency.com/index.html |

Thanks again. For those that may be following the post, the photos are not a real representation of the color. I had lighten the photos to show the details better on the post. The bills are normal colors. As for the corners, I totally agree with you. No effort has been made to correct them manually!! I have 20 bills. SN42;46-50;56-59;60-69 Here is another untouched photo of one of the worse:  |

Hacknot, based on the SN's you have this can be broken up into 4 or more lots with 3 or 4 notes per lot something like that. This is going to be your call at the end of the day when it's graded and what is going to bring the most amount of $'s out of what you have. Good luck. Quote:

Not sure what to make of these YET . This smear is by the district number 12 on all the notes ending 001, 101 to 901 (every 100 notes).Normally you see this type on thing on the 1st note in the brick and can be attributed to when they put the strap on, but this looks like a different issue. Has anyone run into this in a BEP sealed brick? Thanks   |

Fwiw, the ink smear on the 2009's is caused during the "packing process".

Disregard my previous post. The BEP wants me to send these notes (2009 series) in for their review and examination.  This may take a while with them as it took 2 weeks for them to make this request from me and am in the process of getting all the info from them for the submission and return of the notes back to me. |

So let me get this straight... you dream about error notes? The ink color sure does look to be the right color. I just wonder if the ink is attracted to a magnet  |
