Hello, I've had this for while and I've been wondering if it's worth anything? It looks like the corner was folded over when it was printed.. TIA...

Yes! That's what's called a "gutterfold" note. This type in this condition is currently trending at around $150, but with any error notes, the price is only what someone will pay for it.

These errors are interesting in that you do not know whether to have these graded or not. Meaning it takes away the effect of the error when it's displayed only in "one state".

Jake, welcome and nice error note.

Nice error note. I especially like the errors that have the extra paper on them like that. When I was a kid I found a dollar that had an extra bit of paper where it was folded before getting cut. Like a moron I took a pair of scissors and cut the piece off.

I've learned a bit since then.

Here is a perfect example of what we were talking about, look at the first picture and notice the tear along the bottom of the fold:

They tore (TORE!) the extra piece off so the bottom edge would be even instead of having that extra paper hanging down

What a shame!
