Nickelman Pillar of the Community United States 1397 Posts	Posted 01/02/2011 2:43 pm I know a certain amount of fluctuation is very normal when it comes to the linear alignment of the serial numbers. So the question is, how far out of alignment does a number have to be before it would be considered a stuck digit? Using this note I found as an example, is that far enough or does it need to be closer to half of the number out of alignment? Report this Post to the Staff

coinsearcher83 Pillar of the Community United States 1360 Posts	Posted 01/02/2011 3:58 pm I really have no idea.. Maybe the notes really start picking up in value when part of another digit is also visible, but I've never even seen a number as misaligned as the one in your picture.. Report this Post to the Staff
Nickelman Pillar of the Community United States 1397 Posts	Posted 01/02/2011 4:06 pm I just found this one on ebay that is graded as an error and it doesn't look too much more out of alignment... maybe a little. Wish it had a better picture. Report this Post to the Staff

Nickelman Pillar of the Community United States 1397 Posts	Posted 01/02/2011 8:18 pm Those graded ones are going for $15 to $20 and they are all last digit 8 strangely enough. Ah here is one not an 8. It went for $21. Report this Post to the Staff
ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 01/02/2011 8:37 pm I collect stuck digit and missing digit notes. Personally, I like to see them moved as far out of position as possible: I have one Canadian $20 note that has a "dropped" digit that I found in circulation: Report this Post to the Staff
tumbleweedtrumpet Pillar of the Community United States 1418 Posts	Posted 01/02/2011 9:16 pm Now that is stuck digit. I can't believe the one Nickelman posted was labeled as such. Report this Post to the Staff
Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 01/02/2011 9:19 pm ikandiggit, how much do you pay on average for your stuck digit errors? Report this Post to the Staff
ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 01/02/2011 9:24 pm It varies. Slabbed, I've paid as little as $40 and as much as $75. It depends on how dramatic the error is, the denomination, the grade of the note and in the case of the two $10 notes, they were consecutive numbered notes (but the seller had them in two different auctions) so I was willing to go higher. I was lucky to get them both but I still paid an average of $75 for each them. I should also mention, I've seen them for sale on different currency sites for $150 and up.
