Way cool. Don't know the value but it does have a premium. I would put it in a plastic holder if I was you. Also  to CCF. John1  |

That's a beaut! Mismatched serial numbers carry a nice premium. In circulated condition, still about $150 or higher! How did you come across this?

This is one of the known mismatched serial numbers known, if I remember right. I have seen 2 or 3 with that same number mismatched. Probably worth about $150-$250, but I'm not that good with paper errors.

iKandiggit,I ran across this bill 40 years ago when I worked a retail job,in fact I have quite a few finds from that job.People didn't collect or should I say didn't pay as much attention to coins and bills then.

That's how I found all my mismatched notes as well. I work in a restaurant and we have VLT machines which bring in a lot of cash for me to go through. It's been very productive for me. More than half a dozen mismatched serial number notes, an inverted serial number, low numbers, radars and repeaters etc.

Like the other estimates I'd say around $200, very nice!

That is awesome. I never even knew it could happen.

As far as mismatched serials go, they are normally quite rare, but there are three notable exceptions for $1 notes....
1957 G55/G54..... 1957B U37/U47..... and 1963 F68/F67.... for each of those mismatches, there are right around a thousand notes known to be available.
For $2 notes, there is a high population 1976 note with a New York district seal and mismatched prefix letters (H454/B454).... be on the look out for that one.... about $500, and quite odd looking.

That is pretty cool, I have always wondered if it was possible.

I have always suspected that when one of the first digits in a serial are different it might be because the numbers were set by hand incorrectly and when it is the last digits that differ it is from mechanical error.
