For sale are some of the most unusual "errors" to be found anywhere. Simply amazing. Be sure to click on that "see other items" link.

I don't trust any of those to be real.

Look at this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/1-one-dollar-bi...em4aa271dd3d

Notice how the signatures have been removed!

Also the ones without the series are VERY suspect as well.

Interesting. Which ones are 'not' suspect then?

Here is my personal favorite, I especially like the description and auction terms as well as the picture. I wonder how that tear/hole in the upper left serial number happened? Must have been with all of that circulation.

notes that were once in sheet form have a serial number over 99,000,000.


That doesn't start with 99.

Yes, but it's a star note they have different runs.

Tumbleweed, check out the serial number of the note that you supplied the link to. Now compare that serial number to this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Uncut-SHEET-200...em2eadd166da



or compare to this:

Thanks, I didn't stop and think that star notes would have different runs.

My point was the very, very close relationship to serial numbers. The sheets that these notes came from were probably produced within minutes or seconds from each other.

Note this page says (go down to $5 2003) the uncut sheets of star bills started with DG.

Just like the one on ebay.
