Very faintly, one can make out the numbers (one), lettering ("The United States of America" and "One Dollar"), and the eagle wings and crest - all in green. The bill was crisp, straight-from-the-bank, when I got it, but not realizing the bill's error, I folded it, along with the rest of the change, and put it in my wallet. As a result, you can see three very faint creases. I kept the bill next to it that has a consecutive serial number. I'm not really looking to sell, but I am curious of its value. Thoughts?

WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 07/21/2014 11:11 pm Appears to be a "blank back" error. Here's one on ebay that sold recently: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-1969-BLAN...047675.l2557 Your note might be a bit less than this because you folded it once, but in all honestly I wouldn't have even began to think it had been judging by what I see in the photos. Very nice error you have here. Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 07/30/2014 07:39 am I forgot to add, if you have the other normal note with the sequential serial number, I would keep it. Some collectors may like the 2 notes together, even though the added value would be minimal, but marketability may increase. * Edited by Staff - Please Review the rules that you agreed to when you registered. * Report this Post to the Staff
