Is this a keeper or a spender? It's not far off, but it's enough that it caught my eye instantly when a customer handed it to me today.

Spender I'd say. Not really an error.

I'm sure Woodford is right,that is not enough!
Here are other examples.
For none of them I paid specially for this.

Dasalo, it is a spender, sorry.

hajduk, the third one down is a good one to keep as an error. I can see the front is good with pretty well centered margins, and the back is not due to being out of registration. If you look through the note, you will see the first print (back) is outside the second print (front). This is called "out of box" error.
The second one down, I can't tell very well. But it looks like the 1st print has been cut to the edge of the note. If some is missing, it would be a good error note as well.

Just my HO.

Hi jim61,
thank you for the information.
I think the Large 1918 is a out of box too.
Are the bills more valuable like other ones in this condition?

Yes, the out of box errors are more valuable. The others you showed are not as they are very minor 3rd print shifts - not enough to be worth any premium. For personal collecting and if you like them, then fine, they are enjoyable to collect.

Thanks for the info, it's the first time I've actually had one that was even a little off so I wasn't sure how far it had to be to be considered an error.
