Didn't notice that upside down! Yes, I believe that's considered a misprint.

Worth having graded? I have 3 bills with significant misprinted in my opinion. I plan on selling the collection off. But, I am not sure the value or grade. I would not want to mislead any prospective buyers. I have a 1963 red $5 with no red ink, and to other $5 bills with similar misprunts as the $10. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks again
Joshua

Josh...

I believe that your pictured note has what is called a "printing out-of-registration" error. I'm guessing the reverse side probably looks normal.

The folds and circulation hurts it, but it is still a collectible note. I doubt if this note is worth getting slabbed but maybe a error specialist will chime in. I'd guess a value to be somewhere around 25 to 50 $ in that condition.

Congrats getting a picture up. Glad you worked thru the frustration. I know it can be a pain.

And also, ........ to the Community! Looking forward to more pics!

I would just put them in those hard safe plastic small size currency holders. There's no need to have them graded or verified genuine, that is obvious. Maybe put a small adhesive label on the outside of the plastic holders with the correct term for the error written on it for later reference.

Appears to be a faulty alignment error, but it would depend on the back. One of the hallmarks of this error is one side is centered correctly and one side isn't. Is there anyway we can get a photo of the back ?

OP's note, edited and straightened.

Yes.. The back backside is centered correctly.
This phone sucks for pics. It is saying they are to large to upload even after cropping.

As per Fred Bart - The faulty alignment error results from an improper relationship between the printed design on one side of the note relative to the other. Faulty alignment errors are correctly centered on one side. The overprint often appears shifted if the misalignment affects the second print. However, in actuality, the third print rests in the correct position relative to the edges of the note.

I'm pretty sure the proper term for this is a "misaligned over-print" It is a printing error worth a bit over face value. Many examples are shown on youtube and ebay have additional details and different examples of misaligned printings.
