Possible 1985 One Dollar Error Bill

Despite the series of 1985, this note was not printed until November 1988, so it is just a wee bit over 22 years old. I imagine that the other notes on this half sheet are either in the hands of collectors or more probably returned by banks for destruction...... This note (if I see the plate position number correctly as B2) is the sixth note (vertically) in the left hand column of this half sheet..... The other 15 notes on this half sheet would necessarily show similar effects.... Those notes with plate positions of D2 and H2 (the bottom notes on the half sheet) would display huge bottom margins.

As for the backs of the notes on both this half sheet, (and the backs of the notes on the other half of the original 32 note sheet), they would display the misalignment seen on this note, but the top notes on the sheet (A1, E1, A3, and E3), as well as the bottom notes (D2, H2, D4, and H4), would illustrate the effect to the greatest visual degree (nearly to the horizontal edges of the notes).

The note is genuine, and while the error itself may be common, your note is quite uncommon (for the degree of error displayed).... hold onto it unless someone makes you an offer that you just cannot refuse.... (like someone else already mentioned, $hundreds$ would be my guess).... silver certificates on the other hand, are common with few exceptions.... maybe you could post photos of them and the folks here could give you an idea of what they might be worth (if anything) over face value.

I saw one of these on a web site earlier today and it was in a grading service holder. It is an overprint misalignment error. The sheet was fed into the machine that prints the serial numbers and seal incorrectly and then the sheet was cut resulting in what you have. I can send you the link to the note I referred to if you want to take a look at another one like this.

Hi
I have a question in regards to this note. I have decided to get the note graded as I am now curious as to what it would be graded as. There is a company called star grading services that does not require a membership to send something in to be graded. Just curious if anyone has heard or used this service. Thanks for any input

ok thanks

What did it grade out at by CGA?

The top and bottom margins would not be taken in consideration for grading of an error like this one. The side margins would, however, but I do not see a significant deviation in the side margins.

Here's a scan of the note. Maybe I was expecting a little to much as far as the grading was concerned

That's what I don't understand. There are no folds, bends none of the corners have any bends or folds. No marks what so ever on the note. When I found the note it was in a fresh batch of notes uncirculated delevered to a bank. I guess they are just tough graders.
