That note has too many problems. Just think of what you'd have to go through to sell it if you ever had to.

What makes me crazy is not knowing enough -- should this be reported? Did the notes vary that much?

I'm learning to 'spot the difference' but it seems that there are acceptable differences sometimes.

I'm not interested in buying it so the return policy don't matter to me.. I just posted it as a conversation piece... I'd been browsing notes on the web to see what price each condition approximately goes for and when I saw that one, it looked in much better shape than any VF-20s I'd ever seen and then when I noticed it didn't have blue serial numbers I figured I'd post it because it seemed suspect...

I'm glad that you did post about it here because I always learn something. I thought I'd spotted a lot of things that didn't seem right but I never noticed the 3 was a different type.

Because of the lack of security fibers in the paper, I'm wondering if this may have been an altered proof, with the serials and Treasury seal added later. But proofs were typically printed one-sided.
