Ok ladies and gents and children of all ages. Let me introduce to you the most elusive note on the net today. I can not find any info on this note. I have found out some info on the bank but for the life of me can someone give me some kind of valuation? NOTICE the offset print error. I have not included a back pic but it is strait and even. thank you    |

I just emailed the author of "National Bank Notes" as he is the person that is most likely to know. I'll post if I hear anything back from him, it may be a few days.

Congrats, an nice bill. I think he is round about $150 worth. Sorry, but there is no printing Error. The banknotes were printed in sheets and so delivered to the banks. The bills were cut by the banks, so are miscuts very common and not very special. Here is a example from my collection:  Edited by hajduk

thank you for your reply. Nice note. Now that I know a little about these older notes I cant wait to collect a few more from around my area. Ft. Worth is just a few hours from me and it would be cool to find some local area notes.
I read somewhere that they were sent to the bank in sheets of 4, and the tellers or whomever would cut them without much regard. 215,990 sheets of $5 1902 blue seal national bank notes were printed.
Id there any way to find out which year this one was printed?
Is there some kind of census of how many are known to be collected today?
I would normally agree with someone when they told me something that I don't know anything about. it just seams odd to me that the back of the note is centered and correct but the front of the note is so far off and still call it a miss-cut? especially with the signatures so far off as well? was this type of error common?

Common bank, common denomination. $150 is about right. The signatures on the larger banks were added by the BEP and the shift is not unusual. Probably printed sometime between 1925 and 1929.

If you want to see more notes from Fort Worth and what they are valued at, go register at Heritage auctions and do a search in the currency section of their archives. You will find the results for 200+ notes.
As others have indicated, these notes were handcut and there is not an error.
These notes were printed in sheets. The BEP only printed paper money from "rolls" when the web press notes were printed in the late 1980s to mid 1990s.

sweet. so they hand printed them like you see on TV with the old style newspapers 1 sheet at a time? and were sent by sheet to the bank where a teller or someone else would cut them. wow how times have changed. I can understand that in those un-automated times many miss cuts and printing errors can be common. That's why now a days everything is so robotic and automated that it would be rare to have a miss-aligned print or cut error.
I think its cool anyway and I would like to start finding a few from my local area to collect.
thank you all for your input.

I agree with everyone so far. This offset/cutting error is common on the 1902 series of notes and all of the charters preceding this one. Seeing that kind of offset for the rubber stamped sigs is the norm.
