I saw one of these on a web site earlier today and it was in a grading service holder. It is an overprint misalignment error. The sheet was fed into the machine that prints the serial numbers and seal incorrectly and then the sheet was cut resulting in what you have. I can send you the link to the note I referred to if you want to take a look at another one like this.

Thanks appreciate the info. I checked online and noticed some were graded and others were not. I took the note to a local coin and currency shop here, and they said the note was real and that the cost associated with having the note graded and what the value of the note would be,it would be wise to leave it as is.

Hi
I have a question in regards to this note. I have decided to get the note graded as I am now curious as to what it would be graded as. There is a company called star grading services that does not require a membership to send something in to be graded. Just curious if anyone has heard or used this service. Thanks for any input

*ANYBODY* but SGS. A certification by Star Grading Service is worse than not having any certification at all. At best, you'll have a certification that nobody will take seriously, and there's more than a slight chance that they'll make you an offer to buy your bill that would easily be insulting.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I have a question for any error experts. I finally sent the note out to be graded. I used cga as they don't require a membership fee. My question is due to it being an error note do they consider say the margins not being even or the seals and serials numbers being misaligned is that taken into consideration as far as grading the note. Was somewhat disappointed with the grade. Thanks for any opinions.

What did it grade out at by CGA?
The top and bottom margins would not be taken in consideration for grading of an error like this one. The side margins would, however, but I do not see a significant deviation in the side margins.

Here's a scan of the note. Maybe I was expecting a little to much as far as the grading was concerned  |

Generally, a 58 is caused by a fold.

That's what I don't understand. There are no folds, bends none of the corners have any bends or folds. No marks what so ever on the note. When I found the note it was in a fresh batch of notes uncirculated delevered to a bank. I guess they are just tough graders.

This is a GENUINE error note, and there is no way anyone could purchase a uncut sheet from the BEP and create this type of error... This type of error is known as a third printing (COPE-PAK) error where the 16 subject sheet (1/2 of a 32 subject sheet) was not centered when it received the third printing (green seal and serial numbers & black federal reserve seal and numbers), resulting in the type of error you received...
Hint: the printing on USA notes are raised, and you can test this by placing one side of the note on your thumb, and use your index fingernail on the other side and lightly slide your fingernail over the note... I found that the lower left side of Washington seems to be easy to feel the raised print...

SORRY, I didn't know that this post was over a year old when I just posted the reply, as it was on the home page this morning... (I guess by now you know it's real)

Hard to tell from the scan, but I think the lower left corner tip of the banknote folded, there are two light folds on the lower right corner and another light fold on the upper left corner. Can that be right ? If I'm mistaken and you are sure your note hasn't got a single flaw, I think it may be worth it having your note reviewed by the CGA ?

That is too bad on the grade.
Sometimes the edges are kind of wrinkled. I know it is hard to see on one single note, but with a 100 pack, it is really noticeable.
