Yesterday I got the old $50 bill 1969a series's star note. Was wondering if anyone can give me a rough estimate on the value. Like what it might be worth and also if the black mark is an ink error. Thank you !
The black marks typically seen on $20, $50, and $100 notes is attributed to ATM machines. The way it was explained to me is that people loading the machine will mark the edge of the stack every 100 notes to easily evaluate how much is already loaded in the machine. Your note's overall condition is mid-grade at best and the writing on the back and large stain on the upper edge just added to its problems. Personally, I wouldn't want it my collection and would spend it at my first opportunity.
