This was my last find of last year but I thought I should move it to the front of the line while I have a bit of time. It also happened to be my best find of 2010. Got some last second gifts at a gift shop and the lady on line paid with this bill not caring to spend it on
This is a silver certificate from the 1953-A it is also a star note. One more thing some sharp eyes may notice is on the obverse at the top left and center are some black line. On the reverse on the top right is a green line. Those are the positioning or alignment marks. These marks were used to line up the original 12-subject sheet to be cut to the exact dollar dimensions. This bill is slightly off-center so the marks are visible. Go ahead click each image and see for yourself, I will wait for you to comeback...see told you.
Although it has a slight faulty alignment this was common in these types of notes, from what I understand it does not add much value.
Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 5 Dollars / United States
Year: 1953-A
Date Printed: July 1957 - January 1961
Printings: 12,960,000
Run: *15120001A - *2808000A
Value: $55.00 in this shape
The condition is crisp and without bends or folds. Unfortunately the scanner did some auto correction and took out all the stains and yellowness. I am using a new scanner not my older-better model. To make sure this bill was not ironed I held it up to a strong light and checked every inch for thin light-lines that would indicate it was folded once. Pressing a bill is fine while iron is considered deceptive and possible destructive.
Do you have a note 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.
Had a couple of questions. First what is the story of an inverted flag on the back of 1950's 10 dollar bills, was it truly a mismade plate? And secondly could you please tell me what my bill is worth?
ReplyDeleteI have a 1950A ten dollar bill with the serial number G61924115D.
Thanks for any information and help :)
First what is the story of an inverted flag on the back of 1950's 10 dollar bills, was it truly a mismade plate?
ReplyDeleteNo the person who designed the back of the bill wanted to make the flags wave in the wind. While the design on the plate looked great when it transferred to the paper money it looked to some people that it was upside down. It was just to much ink in the shadows of the waving flag.
After some people, at the time, complained the design was modified and made less wavy so you can clearly see less shadows and more flag.
It is an optical illusion that some people see and some do not. At times anti-government groups latch on to this and then with internet conspiracy nuts joining in it has gone wild.
1950A ten dollar bill with the serial number G61924115D about $12.00
Thank you for the information, I must say since finding your site I am paying much closer attention to the money that passes through my hands both in change and as my job as a cashier :)
ReplyDeleteI have another strange question for you. On the back of the one dollar bills to the right and under the shadow of the E in the word one is a small number. Could you tell me what that number is supposed to be for?
ReplyDeleteThanks
On the back of the one dollar bills to the right and under the shadow of the E in the word one is a small number. Could you tell me what that number is supposed to be for?
ReplyDeleteThat is the back plate number which is used to identify what plate was used to print the back. Since each plate gets used to print hundred of thousands of bills they are closely replaced often. Each plate must be accounted for to prevent counterfeiting or theft and so they are numbered.
The front and back plates that print the dollars must be numbered in a certain way for each printing.

Hey There,
ReplyDeleteI have a 1953, US $2 "Star" note, which seems to have been printed with a yellow seal/stamp. As I understand these should have a red seal/stamp, I assumed it had been washed. However, when comparing this note to other 1953 (appropriately RED-stamped) $2 bills, I notice that each of the other two bills I have are also marked with a letter beneath the series date - one with an "A", the other with "B" - while my yellow-stamped bill has no letter at all. Here is the (now rather hard to read) serial number: star-01553300A (also, in the upper left and lower right corners of the bill are printed the letter "F").
I realize this may be a long-shot, and probably of little value, however out of strict curiosity, I'd appreciate any insight you may have.
Thank you.

ReplyDelete1953 is a normal series the lack of letter does not make a difference.
The yellow is likely result of sun-bleaching or chlorine washing.
Damaged, no extra value just $2.00.

five dollar bill that has the seal printed in TEAL ink. Not blue. I have never seen it before and I went to a couple of people that said that haven't seen it before either but that it may have been "bleached"...
ReplyDeleteCorrect, it may have been exposed to some type of detergent.
When the government cleans money press the solvent used is often left behind and the notes are printed with missing ink or odd colors. They are supposed to be destroyed.
Solvent Smear errors are common and this type that turns the seal teal is not considered collectable.
