$20 Dollar Bill Error?

Do you have note or currency 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.

Hello

I was wanting to find out if you would be able to help me
I have 8 consecutive 20 dollar bills without the little 20 printed on the back of any of them
I have enclosed a picture of the front of one and the back of another
would you be able to tell me what they are worth
any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank You
Belinda

Error 20'S


Wow she linked pictures and everything.
And if you thought that would simplify it you were wrong.

This was beyond my knowledge, beyond my Web search, even beyond my books. So I looked into my network of collectors who also never saw this error.

The small yellow "20"s on the back is an anti-copying security feature,
--Check for the nylon thread on the front to the left of the left side-dark seal.
--Check for the watermark of Jackson's head on the front to the right of the right-sided green seal.
--Hold the bill in front of a light to see the hidden features.

If they are not there then you have counterfeit bills. Which also has value.

If they are there then the bills are real and according to my source each bill is worth $200.00 for a total of $1,600.00. (This is only an educated guess since yours are the first reported.)

Thanks for the visit Belinda and sorry for the long delay but it is a new bill and a strange error.

If I have more updates or find them on eBay I'll post a link but I'd try to sell half of them to a local dealer before more are found.

Here is a cool error that sold on eBay for $10,100 in May 2003 and now sold at $25,300.
It's called the "banana note" and has a Del Monte sticker that fell on it midway during printing and was not caught and destroyed.

Do you have note or currency 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.

The upper left 50 is right at the top of the bill and part of the next bill on the sheet when it was made is showing on the bottom left. The back of the bill is also off-set a little to the top o the bill but not as bad as the front. Is this bill worth more than $50.00?

It is fine and normal.

This happens when a normal note is destroyed at the printing time and gets a star replacement.

Depending on year and serial number it may have extra value.

Good morning:

I have a very interesting error bill collection which I believe is rare. It is an uncirculated 1977 US $5 bill missing the back printing completely. What makes the collection so rare is that I also have the prior and subsequent $5 bills in sequential order which are printed normally and also uncirculated. From what I understand about how bills are printed, it is unusual for only one bill in a sequence to be missing back printing. Please advise.

1) The bills are in sequential order by serial number
2) The middle bill was struck without any printing on the back
3) The bills are uncirculated

As you know, because of the way in which bills are printed, this is exceedingly rare for a bill to be printed without anything on the back, especially with the prior and subsequent bill being printed as normal.

Attached is an image of the bills in b&W. Let me know if you think there would be interest in the auction for this collection.

How much would a 1934 20 dollar bill be worth?. also, how much would a 1977 10 dollar bill be worth, 1976 2 dollar bill be worth and a 1966 dime be worth?

Man said...

uncirculated 1977 US $5 bill missing the back printing completely. What makes the collection so rare is that I also have the prior and subsequent $5 bills in sequential order which are printed normally and also uncirculated.

Bills are printed in sheets so if the bill is 00800001 then the one next to it is 00000001.

That said they are stacked sequentially and finding them together is good.
About $300.00 for the error and maybe $600 or more for the collection.
Of course at auction it may bring more if graded.

1934 20 dollar bill about $30.00

This is not an error.
That motto was not added until 1957.

The average 1934 $100 bill is about $120.00 of course it depends on serial number, back number, and condition.

I think you mean the watermark not the hologram.

This is a Transposed Currency Stock error and the govt admitted making 320,000 1996 $100 bills in the wrong position.

By admitting the mistake they became unpopular and are about $125.00 in circulated condition.

Good eye for finding one.

Thanks for the suggestion about PayPal I will thin about it.

Tat 1929 Natinal 50.00 has a slight shift on the layer that says "series of 1929" and what ever else is on that layer is maybe a 1/16th or so off.. Does that help the value at all..?

So you obviously get paid a premium because of your traffic numbers. Then probably more if one clicks a link, and then more if they buy from that link...

No. All these slight off-centered or shifting errors actually lowers the value.
Only large errors or perfectly centered have the most value.

So you obviously get paid a premium because of your traffic numbers.
Not much but I just enjoying posting about the coins I find and helping others.

I apologize the way that read,"So you obviously get paid a premium". Bad choice of words, I thought aloud.

Now that is very "Obvious" you enjoy helping others, your detailed Aswers to all questions exemplify your passion for coins.

It should be on the back to the right in the center. If not it was probably faded because of the fold.

It's about $120.00 maybe less if the not a hint of the back number is visible.

Thank you for your answer. My 1934 $100 bill is very crisp in texture and color. There is no trace of any numbers on the back. This bill was given to me by my 89 year old great aunt, whom states the bank at that time said it was worth something. She has had it since then and asked me if such is true. ???? Should I take it to my local back and ask again?????

Man said...

This could be a minor error but instead of bringing it to the bank you should bring it to a coin dealer or a local coin club.

If it is crisp then it would be $500.00.
Less then crisp or having any folds brings it down to $120.00.

Only by getting it graded at PCGS and if grades above Extra-fine the price will increase.

You can sell it on eBay without grading but to get the most it should be graded.
Check eBay for "ink smear dollar" there should be some results.

I have been hearing about these for years and it is some kind of solvent error or insufficient ink error but either way it has no extra value...yet.

It is possible a market may develop for these but most collectors have stayed away.

HI,

I got a Series 2004 A $50 bill in great shape from a local bank last week. It has a misaligned green treasury seal. The seal is NOT printed over the FIFTY, it is printed on the top of the bill - covering the "OTE" in NOTE and on the

Any information, including estimated value would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for answering my question about the $50. I have since been scouring the net (and eBay) and cannot seem to find anything like this error. Is it that rare or am I just not seeing any?
Can you recommend a good book that really gets into US currency errors?
My 8 year old is suddenly fascinated by coin/currency collecting- which
is probably the best part of this find.

Also, do you make offers to buy? I can send you a pix of the front and back.

Thanks again and Happy New Year!!

IA40719796A has a tarantula in the middle of Jackson's forehead bottom legs touching each eyebrow.


I hope this is not a real creature if so those spiders retail for about $20.00.

If it is an ink stamp then no extra value.

Tarantula does not seem to be an ink stamp. But I guess it's still worth 20.00

Tarantula does not seem to be an ink stamp.

Stamp, drawn by hand, printed, or any other means it does not matter as this is considered damage. Unless if the person who drew it was famous and signed it.

You've already replied saying that it depended on the back and face #'s I believe the face # is A142 and the back # is 943. Oh and the serial #'s are blue (not sure if that makes a difference i know some of the silver certs are brown) Thank you for responding.

Hi, I have a 1996 $100 dollar bill in brand-new condition, never creased or folded (not in the middle either) but the right side of Franklin's face seems smudged or misprinted. His right eye is messed up in print too.

Does that bill have any value, and how would I determine what the value is? Is there a way to certify the misprint or ink flaw? Would it help if I upload a picture for you to see?

Thanks for your help!!

This sounds like a very minor Ink Smear error and it does not carry extra value.

You can always verify it with a grading company like PCGS but it would cost more to verify than the value of the error.

Hi,

I have a 1995 $20 note that has all the serial numer and seal printed on the back.

It is in absolutely crisp shape. I got t out of an ATM machine among a few other new bills. I noticed the misprint right away.

I was in college so I had my backpack (books, photo gear, etc.) with me and remebered I had a few archival negative sleeves with me. I carefully took the bill and put it in one of the sleeves and placed it in a book. It's been there ever since and has only been taken out a few (less than 5) times.

I have had it scanned in, by I am wondering what reputable dealer in the Seattle area could I take it to and have it priced.

Thank you.

This is an Overprint on the Back error it's about $600.00.

I do not know of any Seattle Dealers but if you look at the http://www.pcgs.com/dealers/ site they have dealers who have been certified and would be more reputable than most.

Wow, great info provided here!

I'm here because I have a 1950 Series A mis-print, with the back looking OK but the front image is shifted up such that the words "Federal Reserve Note" run right along the top edge. Also, image is at a small angle, such that the left top corner of image just includes the thin black line and whitespace that borders the image, and angles down to the right side of the bill, ending with the black line and white-space being cut off..

Also, in the enlarged white-space below the image, about 3/4", there is a black line centered horizontally, and another little black line on the right edge that lines up woth the center mark.

Any info?

But if it is just heavy ink and all the words can be read it is maybe $5.00.

This may inch it up a few dollars but not near $50 unless it it the right auction, many people on eBay and other auction sites have good luck with certified and raw errors.
The fact it is a star note may help.

In very it's about $550.00.

They are more scarce then most National Notes but exactly how I don't know. Try a national notes forum or email someone who is selling them because they are difficult to track.

Hi, Man!

Got this from the ATM with 9 others; noticed right off this one had a much lighter color than the rest, just looked different. Did some Googling, found your site and the post from the lady who had 8 consecutive with no little 20’s on the back (back in 2006). Got out the magnifying glass, saw that there are no little 20’s…but it does have the nylon thread and the watermark (see pics). It’s a 1996, not crisp, but not too soft, either; one little tiny tear at middle of top, has been folded.

Any idea what it may be worth today? TIA!!

For the 1996 series they were not made with the little 20s. So your bills are normal.

Hello I have recently come in contact with a crisp 06 20$ bill no folds creases or rounded edges. This shocking me because its rare to see currency in circulation in such fine condition I had also noticed something else about the bill that I thought would be best to ask an expert. When I turned the bill over to the reverse side I had noticed that the serial number had sort of passed through the paper and was legiable on to the other side. It seems to me to be an extra hard press but a tad bit of over inking also had occured . Would this bill have any value thats worth preserving. If pictures are needed to make analaysis please let me know adress where to send.

I have a one dollar bill (1995) that has a white space on the front right between Washington's eyes about 1/16" wide, top to bottom. Any idea on it's value?
