PSPVinyls Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 04/28/2007 1:00 pm I hope I didn't get ripped off on this. I wish I knew of this message board before deciding to buy currency from ebay. I spent about $93 for this $50 dollar bill with an non inked stripe going up the bill. Is this a common error and did I get ripped off? Or was it worth what I paid for it?

PSPVinyls Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 04/28/2007 1:23 pm This is most of the description from the seller about this bill: The bill was folded when it went through the printer and therefore it left a strip running from the top of the bill to the bottom with no printing on it. The strip is on the right side of Grant's portrait. The bill is uncirculated. I personally got it from a federal reserve shipment at the bank that I work at. The bill does have a bit of wear on the edges from being in the bank vault, and it has slight markings on the portrait that resulted from a teller stamp. There are no other markings on the bill.
