Thanks. I do look at errors which are somewhat rare for the type of error. For example - mis cut notes (Post 03A). Although it is nothing major they are not as common as one would think. On the other hand "minor" gutter folds from pre 90's are rather common, plentiful and command high premium's as they are more sought after.

Does your collection have turned digits from each position of the SN? I am collecting minor mis alignments on 1976 $2's from each district (District error set).

BTW, demons had a set of $50's with turned digit. Not sure if you saw them.

I use two criteria for my slipped digit/ missing digit(s) collection. How dramatic the error is and the cost. I believe the majority of my notes have the error on the right side of the serial numbers. I haven't made a concerted effort to collect the errors from different positions but that may come in time.

While it would be nice to have $50's and $100 error notes, I stick to $1 - $20 notes. Just because the resale value is better with the lower denominations.

I'm not sure if I've posted all my errors on this forum. I'll do a search later and if not, I'll start a new thread.

I too have stayed with errors in the in the lower denominations with the highest being a $5 error.

Please do post some of yours as I would like to see them. Thanks

These are the pics of some of the notes that I have handy. The other notes are in my safety deposit box. But this will give a nice sampling of what I have. I've also included a couple of notes with "insufficient inking":

This one includes the note before and after the error:

Those are nice. Have you found any series 2006 with the same issue?

I don't have any in my collection. The only ones that I've come across the error was too minor.
Rest in Peace

The notes before and after the error are refered to as the Bookend notes.

I believe the three are just consecutive numbers from 20572918-20572920, no errors in them so really have no idea why they would be graded unless I am missing something also

I bought these from an on-line dealer who included these with the error note. The bookend notes indicate what the error note number is since the error is on both numbers in this note.

Also a lot of dealers who get an older stack will have them all graded because they get a major discount when doing quantity. If they're lucky they'll wind up with a 68 or 69 grade note out of the bunch.

Yes, you did....I also had a line above the notes that mentioned it but perhaps I should have made it clearer.

I think I've mentioned that I live in Canada, so any of the American notes I have in my collection, I've had to purchase. I don't have the luxury of searching stacks.

99% of my Canadian error notes have been found by me in circulation. I have a 1973 $1 and a shinplaster that are mis-cuts but I purchased those.

Nick...saw that one about billcollectors 100. These are more pronounced on the 10 and 20's from that period. On the 10's it's the right side SN and on the 20's it is more of a misalignment due to shifted face (up or down) with the left side SN.

Based on what I have researched so far it did NOT affect all print runs / just some of the notes / districts.

However, I am noticing more of this show up in the error category once in a while now.

The 10's a bad pic but you can see it.

That having been said, does it have any effect at all on the value of the note, or is it just a curiosity?

That's a futile / circular discussion (imo).

For a person like me collecting misaligned over prints by denomination and series year some of these are worth a premium.

A person collecting district sets will pay NO error premium.

And a non numismatic person inheriting a stash of old notes and coins will just go and deposit them at the bank for FV.

So who is right?

It gets back to what your collecting / want in your collection regardless of what the market says.
