Again, post your "negative image" and point out the differences. Of course you are saying it's a fake and I do take offense at someone making baseless accusations without backing them up. ebay auction was to get an idea of interest, I did not expect or want it to sell, before I learned more. |

Unfortunately I am unable to enlarge your photo. But if you do enlarge it you will notice the area around george washington is blank in your photo even when enlarged. In my photo you can see the print around george. The same around all the ones on your note. As I said it is my opinion and if I am wrong I will admit as much. All I am saying is that the note does not seem right to me.

Personally I don't see it. This site forced me to "optimize" the photos in order to be uploaded. If anyone is really interested I can email the higher resolution photos. You should compare it to the second photo, of the face with the fold down.

Not to beat a dead horse here are negatives of the reverse of your note and another note. The colors seems off and again appears to me to be different. No where did I confirm it was a fake all I said was that something seems different concerning your note (paper quality and printing)and that it would be wise to get it authenticated.

Oh, fer crap's sake. When you compare notes of different series, there may be differences.

Lol, this thread seems to be getting a little tense 😝.
Being such a substantial error, you really should get this one graded.

There's no tension. I just gave my opinion and my opinion only on what I observed. This is what I thought a forum was for. You will get different opinion, different views on things that not everyone will agree with. Apparently there are some who do not understand that concept. Trust me I will no longer offer any opinions lesson learned.
Will still read the forum as there is a lot of useful information on these type of forums.

Thanks for the advice Bluntedbobylon, I've had it in a box for years. I wanted an idea of it's value. My Dad gave it to me, and I will probably give it to my son. The highest offer I've had is $1,000. A nice sum (a 1000% profit) but, I'm just not sure I really want to sell it.
Spring423: as one of those, who apparently does not "understand" your lofty opinions, I would offer one piece of advice. It's an excellent practice to understand a subject prior to making serious accusations.
Happy New Year

That's a 99,900% profit. $11 is a 1000% profit.

Then when somebody gave their opinion and you didn't like it you insult them. If you know everything about this topic why post? |

I stand by my opinion that something doesn't seem right with the note. You asked for opinions I gave one sorry you don't agree with it. You say you have no intent of selling yet make it clear in your post that you have already been offered 1000.00 for it. Then low and behold you also had it listed on ebay for sale. Sounds like you were advertising the note trying to get people interested. My opinion only |

That is one really interesting note and those types of errors do appear from time to time.
But like one person said three times, what is stamped or printed on the left side of GW's head?
It looks like some one took some type of stamp and stamped it? It doesn't look like anything the BEP would do. Or maybe a bank stamped it for some reason?
Can you please post those characters that are stamped on it?
I'm curious to see what it is. I would think it would reduce the value some, since it happened outside of the BEP.
Thanks,
Wes

This error looks perfectly genuine to me. The numbers on the back are plate numbers, they are normally cut off when the sheets are cut apart. The fact that its included its still attached to the note indicates that this note was from the top of the sheet. They generally are only seen on major cutting errors, fold overs, and faulty alignments. The example shown in the Standard Catalog of United States Guide to Paper Money shows a similar example with plate numbers. The same guide lists it at $2500 in CU condition.
