Hi all

I am new to all of this (although I do have a collection of old Silver Dollars and uncirculated and proof sets from the 1970's that I inherited).

The other day I noticed something odd about a dollar bill in my billfold. I did a little on line research and learned that it seems to be an overprint error.

How rare is this?

I wonder if I should save it or try to sell it.

Here it is. Any thoughts or comments?

Thanks

Nice Bill! You could probably get 70 to 100.00 for it. You might want to hold on to it for a while. At least tell you get 50 posts and to weeks here.

Huh, besides the green seal being gone, what am I supposed to be looking for on this error bill?

Thanks for the input so far. I will wait until there are another 45 posts before doing anything.

I have a one dollar bill from the 60s like that! Has Henry Fowler signature. Love seeing those things. Another example of 80% of Americans not looking at there currency!

Kicksave needs to have 50 quality posts and 14 days of membership before being able to participate in Buy/Sell/Trades on the forum; this also prevents him from being able to PM members.

That would be a rare neat thing to have in your ever expanding coin collection ......dontcha think ?........I'd keep it were it mine Kicksave44 !...
Wait for more opinions and value estimates too.......the "US Note Forum" section isn't frequently visited as much as the others, but many will find this thread in time.......
Just wait and keep participating within the forum until you've reached 50 posts if you're trying to sell it though.

Thanks for the advice Eaglefoot. I have not made any decisions. In fact, I still do not have a handle on the value of the note. Just biding my time...

Thanks Phil. The more I read, the more I think I am just going to hold on to it. Still have no idea about value but that may be beside the point.
