Error Dollar Bill

Do you have an error bill and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

This question was asked...


Anonymous said...
Hello Do you know anything about errors in dollar
bills? I have a crisp one dollar bill 1981 that is stamped with an "E" on the
front and also on the back.

I responded with...


Man said...
I need a picture to be more exact but it is possible, it is called Overprints on Back, it would also include a weak serial number along with the E.

In crisp uncirculated it would be worth $250.00.
It was a logic response because I didn't know the E was reversed.

Next...


Anonymous said...
I have a picture but how can I show you a picture? The normal cut and paste didn't work. After looking at it closer I see that the E is not stamped on both sides. It has actually bled through to the back. The E is very dark on the back and it is reversed. There are also four 5's that have bled through...as they are reversed, also. The serial number is only visible on the front.
Oh I see things more clearly...


Man said...
Sounds like you have an Offset Error for one dollar bills its about $75 to $100.

Here's a ten dollar example I used Imageshack to host the image and then the HTML tags a and href
Picture
Anonymous' error sounds like a moderate-lighter version that happened on this ten dollar bill.



An offset error in the 3rd printing of a bill can lead to the "letter seal" and the serial numbers to bleed through the back this is the most common of error notes but still valuable. In one case a 1981 5 dollar bill with a 1 dollar bleed through this of course is a rare and highly valuable.

As you see with the ten dollar error above the prices should be divided by about three for your 1 dollar, so Fine: $50.00 EF: $100.00 CU:$150.00 remember the market changes and see prices reflect the highest you may ever hope to get.

Sidenote: With places like Flickr, imageshack and photobucket or other blogs just drop a link to your photo by using this format

This is a minor Faulty Alignment error about $35.00 in extra fine.

You have a counterfeit note. The proper thing to do is report it to the police and you'll lose the $100.
These are note really collectible since they are so common.

Someone took a real $5 bill and bleached it and copied the $100 note on top, this will allow it to pass the "pen test" that bank tellers use.

Pass it on would be wrong and if the teller reports you you'll be in bigger trouble but your losing out on $100 so that is your decision.

There is no chance this is an error.

Yellowing is sign of a sun damaged note. In most Insufficient Inking Errors the faded ink is still green or blackish.
The first page in the error guide tells that yellowing is always a sign of alteration.

Unfortunately this one has no value above face. I've some yellowing that is real but these are old notes from the 1800's nothing modern.

Great story too bad it wasn't the whole uncut sheet. Also great pictures.

This is a 100% Offset Printing it's about $300.00 ungraded but it may be worth grading because at higher values of course it will be a lot more.

No this is normal, if you see a piece of another bill then it has extra value.

Never heard of this it's a fake.

If you mean the serial number and seals are red then it is an older bill worth about $10.00 on average.

I have a $10 1988 bill, which I found in a brick straight from the FED when I worked at a bank. I always wondered what it was worth.

The bill folded over the next bill in the seq (exp L114XXX, L115XXX, etc). When the bills were cut the middle of the next bill and a portion of another bill are attached to the main bill. You can see a portion of the serial number on the second bill. There is a shadow of ink transfer from the second bill to the first bill.

Many Thanks.

This is very difficult to imagine.
But it sounds like a Printed Fold Error I'm guessing without seeing it's about $650.00. You need to have someone look at it to see what error(s) exist.
Since it is so Crisp grading it may be a good investment because it can easily be worth $1,000.00 if the fold is extreme.

Sorry for the delay in reposting the image. A mini vacation got in the way. Here is the best image of the the 1987 $10 bill. If the image lets you enlarge you can see the ink tranfer of the serial number and seal from the second bill to the first in the upper right part of the bill.

Yes I see the ink transfer(which is common in cutting errors and means it's genuine) but that is nothing compared to the spectacular cutting error I must adjust my value and put this 1988-A $10 bill at $2,500.00 ungraded. This needs to be graded because the value may double.

Yes 1925-E are commonly found with shifts and this is about $15.00.

Incredible Cutting Error and great pictures.

My daughter found a series 2004 A, $20.00 bill with the gold metallic ink from the 20 on the bottom right smudged upward all the way to the top in an inch wide path. It really shows on the black ink it overlaps. The shimmer is beautiful! It does have ridges on the collar, a proper watermark & strip.

This is an Ink Smear Error but I've never heard or seen on with the hologram affected.
Average errors are $50.00 this one can be so unique that it is hard to pinpoint value. Black ink smears are common and hold little value if not perfect.

You may one several opinions from dealers or post online pictures for forums or others to see.

Hi,
today I found a 2006 1 dollar bill that has two district seals (the letter representing the bank it was printed at). One is where it is supposed to be and the other is almost upside down and partailly overlapping the treasury seal. The bill is in ok condition. Do you know how much it is worth?

This would be a Multiple Printing error but the kind you describe has always been found to be fakes. It's his highly unlikely to be real because the way that bills are printed.

You'd need to have it verified by an expert.
If real it would be upwards of $1,500.00.

Careful.

Where can I find an expert?

First you can pay about $50 to PCGS or any grading company to have it graded and verified but if fake you will not be refunded.

You can post good scans online and show it around different forums with enough input you can get an informed decision.

Finally try a local coin club or coin dealer. Go to more than one in your area and ask for an opinion.

I'm very skeptical so I'd try the free options first.

As far as I know the stamp the government uses is Red and on the front.

If yours is green and on the reverse at the bottom it may be something an artist did back in the 1970s(hippies?).

That said only the BEP would know for sure maybe email them with a scan of note to help.

These security errors are new obviously the blank paper was fed upside down before printing.

Just a guess since I've yet to see a sell or any talk about this on the forums but it would start at twice face value about $200.00 but very few buyer these days.

These are about $120.00 each.
That said it seems a bit odd. I'd expect them to be darker and less checkered so I would have someone look at these in hand to make they're not fake.
If graded and verified the value may go up.

1943 $100 with what looks like Franklin's left eye is missing the pupil, it's in pretty good condition and just curious to know what it's worth. Also you can see the print of the back on the front side.

It's a 1934 and the odd pupil is due to the fold in the note, no extra value. Also slight variations are put on notes to stop counterfeiters.
The Offset Printing that can be seen from the back is very minor and does not add to the value.
It's about $250.00.

One thing that may be a factor is the note is a 1934 Mule indicated by the back number of 115 and the lowest recorded was L05676359A. That bill is has a lower serial number and for some collectors it may add extra value, not much.

There are so many varieties without a serial number and back number I can only give a value of $25.00 but there are more valuable varieties.

This is known as a Ink Smear error if less than 25% of the it's about $20.00 in very-fine.

About $125.00 in extra-fine it is an Offset Printing quite a few were found on 1977 $20 bills. It happened when the front impression was transferred to the back when the ink was not dry.

I have 1974 100.00 bill (circulated but pretty crisp) that the edge of the right side has been cut really close to the green, on the front you can tell, on the back it looks normal. Is this bill worth anything and will it in years to come.

Man said...

The off-center is not worth anything above face unless you can see part of a second bill. In some cases it takes away the value.

Although 1974 had a shorter run it still is very common it will take another 30 years before any significant increase in value.

If you can afford to keep it do so as the market for slight errors can change fast.
If not then no big loss if you use it.

I have a 1999 series A dollar bill that has a few errors. The print seems fine with the exception of the left side, the "Fed. Res. Circle, with the A". It is on top of the bottom serial number. Also upon closer look where they place the
"4 numbers's" on the inside of the bill my number is 1 (diagonaled inside of the dollar of the "Dollar numbers in the corner") those numbers are lower, about half of the dollar bill on both sides,and the bottom left is in the border, and at the bottom right the bottom of the # is slightly lower than the border.
What I found odd was, everything seemed fine on the right, but the inside #1's were really off.

Oh and its in pretty good condition.

I have a 1977 A 1 dollar bill given to me by my father...it looks like the back is printed in yellow ink. There is nothing else out of the ordinary, the back is identical to any other dollar besides the coloration. The front side shows no stains or degradation that would seem to indicate chemical bleaching or alteration. Otherwise the bill appears normal, crisp and well cared for with a single fold in the center.

Any idea how this happened, and what its value might be? I can post an image if needed. Thanks very much!

Hello:
I have a crisp mint condition 1985 US ten dollar bill with a vertical 1/32nd of an inch wide fold down the center. When you hold the two ends and pull the bill apart there is a 1/32nd of an inch blank space on the front and back. In addition the bill is printed off center meaning that it has a huge blank space along the bottom and side and the bill is printed in the upper corner. I would love to know its approximate value or sources to get it appraised. Thank you...

Nice.
That is actually the sheet number peaking through on top.

A Faulty Alignment on a Silver Certificate Star Note is what you have.
About $1,500.00 only because I can't verify if it is crisp-uncirculated. This is definitely worth grading for maximum value.

Hello-
I have a crisp 1999 20 dollar bill that has the Federal Reserve seal imprinted over Jackson's face, the top serial number is also printed on his face, the bottom serial number is half on the right side and the other half on the left side, and the Department of Treasury seal is also partially on the right and left side.

This is a Misaligned Overprint if I understand correctly this one has the Serial number cut in half going over the edge and the same on the other side.
If so this is about $2,500.00.
The Error book has a 1999 $20 with the serial numbers between BF-A, it is described as unique.

(you can see the print but there is a purpleish haze over the whole thing. The center however, including the words 'five dollars' is fine, no purple ink over it. Is this an error? Thanks for your time!

This seems like a Solvent Ink Smear it has little to no extra value. I have not seen any sold but maybe $7 to $10 if high grade.

Hello, I have a 1969 B dollar bill and on the back of it believe it is an ink transfer but there are theses deep dark green splotches they looks like droplets, I know that it is not a foreign contaminate because the way the the ink looks and blends in with out being visible from the other side. I was wondering how rare something like is and also how much it is worth. It is crisp with three small creases and a quarter of a millimeter rip at the top of the bill.lastly the way that the bill was cut it is off on one side is bigger on the other. thank you for taking time out of you're schedule.

This seems like damage to me but it could be an Ink or Solvent smear but it has little to no extra value.

I have a 2006 Uncirculated Crisp $1 Bill. The border of the bill and Portrait of GW are printed on the back of the bill, but in the opposite direction of the front (like a bleed through). The ink on the back looks faded or not as strong as the front.

Sounds like on Offset Printing or Ink Transfer error it's about $125.00.

I have a 1995 series crisp $1 bill with only a crease down the middle that is missing its serial number and U.S treasury stamp. I know it is real because it came in the middle of a pack of ones sent to the store i work at. Every other one had their serial number and stamp and i also have the serial number range the bill was in. Worth anything?

About $200.00 for this Missing Overprint error.

Also if you can keep the bill that came before and after it may bring extra value under certain auctions.
