Picked up this note today.

I noticed that on one side, between the shading and the top edge of the note, it appears crooked.


Odd-50-Dollar-Note

I also noticed that the "Australia" and "50" on the other side is quite close to the right edge of the note (theere's not much gap at all).

Odd-50-Dollar-Note

Is this an error? Or is it time to get new glasses?

It is a little off centre but not enough to carry a premium IMO. If you can afford $50 then keep it. I wouldnt keep it though, not that I know half of what I'm doing with notes.

I'd think that being crooked and slightly off-centre isn't particularly uncommon.

I'd be keeping it as a nice error. It's cutting into the design so a lot more desirable than a slight 1 mm shift.I say that as a collector of such things, but doubt whether it is worth more than $50.Definitely not common in my opinion.

I've just taken the plunge and have gotten into notes. I'm not sure where to focus my energy... Serials, errors, signatures. I settled on all!

Luke I was never going to touch banknotes or normal currenties as I got into silvers, but I found a pe94$20(first note) and since have been totally addicted, now coins, tokens, basicaly anything paper plastic or metals,
my room is filling up with bags of coins and folders of notes,
so to fix this, turned 3rd bedroom into a office lol,
Happy hunting
