Anyways, I got a brand spanking unc. 2009 Note but it stuck out to me because it seemed the serial number had been struck way to hard. The numbers are raised on the back side and indented on the front. Not sure if it is collectible. But I'll play the newbie....What say you? Report this Post to the Staff

coinsearcher83 Pillar of the Community United States 1358 Posts	Posted 01/23/2014 08:43 am I believe this is called embossing. I know collectors appreciate this on collectible currency but I'm not sure it adds any value to the piece itself. However, since it's only a dollar and it CU shape it wouldn't hurt to set it aside as a curio if you want Report this Post to the Staff

BisonMatt Valued Member United States 239 Posts	Posted 01/23/2014 12:46 pm embossing can make a note's condition just that much better, sometimes raises it a grade with that kind of originality to the note. Report this Post to the Staff
Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 01/23/2014 7:57 pm That makes sense. I did notice it looked a lot "crisper" as far as the letters and lines. Report this Post to the Staff
ejs54 Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 02/03/2014 12:22 pm I found a few like this on some new $5s. The strikes were deep enough to where the bills would interlock with eachother easily. Sample of 4: http://screencast.com/t/3j51zgafsO38 Closeup: http://screencast.com/t/v5oxLP0m I'm not sure if they are worth a premium either, but its $20 I can hold onto for a bit so into the book they go.
