Varietyoflife New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 5:43 pm I have this $20 bill. It seems to have an extra stamp on the USA on the observe. It doesn't look like a teller stamp. There is also a mark on the reverse which is in the same spot. Any ideas? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 7:59 pm It looks like a random, miscellaneous, post-BEP stamp of sorts. Report this Post to the Staff
Varietyoflife New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 8:31 pm Hi Steveintampa. Please explain further. I am not sure what that means. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 8:41 pm He's just saying that these are stamps applied by hand after the notes left the BEP, perhaps to indicate authenticity. They are not uncommon and have no premium. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16816 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 8:50 pm Agreed, I'm thinking a moneychanger's "chopmark", rather than random vandalism. But it's not something that was printed on there when the note was printed. In other words, it's not a printing error. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Varietyoflife New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 11/13/2023 9:11 pm Thank you for using terms that I could understand! I knew it had to be after printing, but I was hoping that it was some error! Lol. Oh well. Report this Post to the Staff
