Help! Miscut $20 Value And Or Information

to CCF..

that is one sweet error note..

The Bookends serials should be included in all cutting errors, as it helps confirm them to be genuine cutting errors..

This type of cutting error happens when there is a Vertical Fold in the 16 subject sheet, and should yield a few more of the same errors from this sheet..

As for Value, it's worth whatever the highest bid is (when sold at auction), and should 2 or more bidders want it, Value could Skyrocket..

Thanks for the information on how that happens! My question is how does it make it out of the mint like that with it being so much longer than a normal bill. Wouldn't that be painfully obvious?

These notes were printed in January 2015 at the Fort Worth facility on old presses.

Somewhere between the second and third print, the 32-note sheets are cut in half (16-subject sheets) I am unable to read the face plate numbers on the lower left, but if they are C1 or C2 they would have been the left side sheet, and C3 and C4 would be the right side sheet. Somehow, the sheet must have folded partially during the cutting. The third print, which includes the Treasury Seal, serial numbers, district seal and alphanumeric characters went on as normal VIA the COPE process.

Remarkable error, and having the before and after notes makes it truly remarkable.

Wow! The wealth of information is amazing here. The story I got from The Collector is his friend was filling an ATM machine when he noticed the bill. He replaced the three twenty dollar bills with his own money and took those three bills. Take it for what it's worth.

I'm really on the fence about getting it graded by PCGS. Will I be able to get my money back out of these bills if I put them up for auction?

I had to jump from my Tablet to Laptop to post my vertical & horizontal errors (direction of paper fold in sheet), along with what a 3-note holder would look like..

The notes in the 3-note holder are the only three examples that can be classified as "experimental overprint error" notes since the series 1963 introduction of $1.00 Federal Reserve Notes ..

The top note is a Natick Test Paper note printed in August 1981, followed by both Web-Press overprint error notes (printed in December 1992 & July 1993)..

Web-Press notes were printed from 1992 to 1996 (4 1/2 years) and PMG refuses to acknowledge them as Experimental Test Notes (then again, PMG is NOT as good as they were in 2006/2007)..

I did get to use my 30+ year old steel ruler with 1/10" increments to measure the percentages of the cutting error..

If your 3 notes were mine, I would have them in a 3-note holder ASAP.. The total certification fees shouldn't exceed $150.00 ..

Thanks for all the advice. I was so set on getting them graded and slabbed. I received an offer from a dealer for 250 bucks. Should I take the offer or still get them graded and slabbed? I don't collect paper money so my intent is to sell it. I am not a greedy person I just want a fair offer and I have no idea on the value

you could get a lot more than 250 for this.

Thanks everyone! I am going to send it off to be graded and slabbed!
