Hello, I have a 1950 ten dollar bill and the front flag is upside down on the treasury building . I was wondering if it was worth much?
Thank you,

I am no currency expert, but I have never heard of this type of error. Have you compared it to another note to be certain there is a difference?

Yeah, printing plates are not like dies where there could be a slight variation. However, please post a larger pic so we can take a good look at it.

Wow, I have a bunch of those, and mine are all exactly like that. The front flag is definitely inverted, though at a glance you wouldn't notice it.
