Usually some part of the design has to be missing for a note to have any value, but I'll let Steve in Tampa comment on this one.  to the CCF!

Thank you coinfrog. I'm totally "green" when it comes to collectable dollar bill$. I have seen similar, but less dramatic, misaligned printings on ebay. This seems like a rare piece to me. Speaking just as an average American who's been handling bills most of my life, I can only say say I've never seen anything like it. And, it's 54 years old but has barely been circulated.

The serial number and seal are printed lower than normal. I think it's a keeper.

Looks like a minor misalignment error on an older $1 FRN with serious centering problems. Cool find.

Many thanks to Steve John Bill and Coinfrog. If you have a similar example of such a note you could show me, for purposes of comparison, don't hesitate please &

Yes, definately an error to keep. The above note demonstrates a misalignment during the second printing. Notice that the Third Print that includes the serial numbers and seals appears to be too low on the front. Both serial numbers are incorrectly touching elements beneath them (which is the important part that identifies it as an error) and the green seal is not horizontally aligned with the word ONE. In this case, it looks like the Third Print is actually in the correct place, but the Second Print is too high, which can be seen at the top of the note, where possibly some of the design was truncated, and other areas where the next note's design begins.

Thanks for your help. I have found one for sale online, in PCGS sealed and certified, for $99. Compared to mine, it has slightly wider obverse right border, and the reverse side has a normal border edge on all sides. So with mine having the quite extreme misalignment on obverse AND almost as much on reverse...At this point I have no idea how unique or rare or valuable that could be.
