An obstruction error would be more symmetrical and linear. This appears to be a board break error and is caused by a faulty impression cylinder during the printing process. Essentially any note printed using the faulty cylinder will have the same shape of "whiteness". That means there is a possibility of another bill that looks just like your note out there!
I'd also like to see a photo of the entire bill -- It looks to be in great condition!

Thanks for the information WheatBack.....I will try and post pictures of the front and back. Condition wise, it's crisp but has a very faint center fold. It does resemble a tornado. I wasn't sure about the board break since the upper left side of the affected area is so linear. I am assuming board breaks can produce that linear look.

I showed the error note to Fred Bart who indicated the note is an Obstruction error not a board break. Fred is an expert in error currency so I trust his judgement.

Just google his name with the words error currency and you can find out. I am surprised that you guys don't know who he is. I deal in error coins not error currency. That is why I came on this site to find out what I have. Not knowing Fred Bart leaves me thinking that this may not be the site to inquire about error notes. Is there a better forum on this site that specifically deals with error notes?

I know exactly who Fred Bart is! I have his paper money error book (signed) and I've bought from him as well.

Interesting that he says this is an obstruction rather than a board break.
Did he give any explanation as to why/how he identified it as an obstruction?

With over 200 post you should know this is the best place. JUst because we don't know who one person is doesn't mean we have the knowledge to answer your questions. I think we just wanted to see pics of the whole bill. |

I sent him same images...he just said "definitely appears to be an Obstruction". If you look at my bill, you will note that a portion of the area affected is linear. I have never seen a board break with that straight of an edge. Also, none of the bill's design shows through any of the blank areas which also appears to be abnormal for a board break and very normal for an obstruction.

Here are images of note. Best I could do to keep note in focus and get as much of it in.   |
