Not an expert, but I believe that those lines could be dirt or machine oil from a counting machine. It could have happened at the BEP. While it makes the note less than perfect, I don't think I've ever seen anything like that being sold as an error.
As for the amount of ink on the stamp and the 12 -- again, I don't have any BEP printing experience, but I know that for newspaper ink, sometimes the ink is just thick. Once my husband and I drove about six hours to point this out to someone who insisted the pump wasn't working.
When I started searching notes, I set notes like these aside and it wasn't long before I had filled a shoe box. I think it isn't normal or optimal, but it isn't uncommon.

Ok I will hold on to it.. lol.. see if I can fill up a box... saving money never hurt anyone.. I have two more notes I found today that I could use an opinion on.. I believe the $20 would be a double mini radar? Thought the $100 was cool with the pairs of numbers and letters ..  Edited by rmsexauer

saving money never hurt anyone... Kind of true. Though if you stuff that $120 under your mattress, inflation is hurting you. You'd be better off converting it into a 401(k) or some kind of collectible that is going to appreciate. As that sits, it's $120 with no potential to be anything more than $120, so as the years go on, it's worth less and less. Of course YMMV, there's no guarantee that any investment is going to have a return. Edited by CelticKnot

 Yeah, that shoe box didn't take long to fill and it took even less time to put that cash back in the bank. |

Also if anyone has a link to information on what would be considered a collectible serial number This link was shared with me a while back so I thought it would be appropriate to pass on the information. http://coolserialnumbers.com/FancyS...Numbers.aspxthis next page is pretty cool, it does not tell which numbers are collectible but is does show a percentage of "coolness". Its just a fun page to get a coolness factor on a particular 8 digit number. http://www.coolnumbers.com/crunch.a...34652&type=1Edited by Idacostya
