Bluntedbobylon Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 02/21/2008 5:50 pm I just received this from my bank while cashing a check. Does anyone know what, if anything it may be worth? The top left and bottom right corners have very sligt wrinkles but other than that and the obvious folds from when it was printed it doesn't appear to have ever been folded or seen much use.

arthrene Pillar of the Community United States 1713 Posts	Posted 02/21/2008 7:53 pm That's really neat! Did they hand it to you like that or did you get it and then realize that something was amiss and folded it back yourself? Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/21/2008 10:53 pm Hmm...I'm a little confused by that bill, which might be easily clarified by someone who knows. Since a whole sheet of bills gets the FRB/ser # printed at once, wouldn't that particular bill need to be on the lower left corner of the whole sheet (of 16)? Perhaps that's the case here, which would make it even scarcer. Not knowing how currency is printed, I find it interesting that two sides of that bill are cut to the final size before being printed with the serial #.

Amazon99 Pillar of the Community United States 2443 Posts	Posted 02/21/2008 10:59 pm This error is similar to yours. http://www.errorcurrency.com/product/60.aspx Since it's from 1934, that probably increases the value. Very cool find. Report this Post to the Staff
arthrene Pillar of the Community United States 1713 Posts	Posted 02/22/2008 06:49 am Found this one on ebay. Interesting because it was in the upper right corner of the sheet and missed one of the cuts, has a very large border. http://cgi.ebay.com/1-RARE-1969-D-O...TE_W0QQitemZ 200186220037QQihZ010QQcategoryZ3415QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQ_trksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/22/2008 12:40 pm Arthrene, that's interesting because that bill seems to confirm there are larger margins on the sheet when the serial # is printed, which are later cut off, as seen below. Of course, perhaps there's just a large margin on this side of the sheet, and it's not needed on all sides on a printing press? Dunno....I'm baffled.

Bluntedbobylon Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 02/22/2008 10:49 pm Woww! Thanks guys. I guess i'll do a little more research to see what the average selling price may be for something like this. Who knows maybe eventually test the market and throw it on ebay.....

amac44 Member United States 3242 Posts	Posted 02/23/2008 08:30 am I would have graded PMG then test the waters. have it printed on the holder Error will make worth a lot more than raw? I know it will double in price with coinage like VAM or Double Die do. Report this Post to the Staff
One Red Cent Valued Member United States 169 Posts	Posted 03/16/2008 12:36 am I think that twenty is worth at least a couple of hundred bucks. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 03/16/2008 07:01 am I agree with amac44 (did I just say that), I would get it graded before I sold it because it being certified will only make its value go up and I think its value now makes it well worth the cost of submission/grading fees Report this Post to the Staff
