Values What's My Paper Money Error Worth? Prices for United States Paper Money Errors Collecting currency errors is one of the most interesting area of paper money collecting, a hobby that can be pursued as easily as looking in your wallet or receiving change from a transaction. Even a severe paper money error may sometimes circulate for years before a knowledgeable collector finds it. If you can befriend a bank teller he may be a great 2009 one dollar bill error source for unusual currency. Of course, dealers are the ultimate source for these items and specialists often try to stock as many types as possible. See the gallery below for some fascinating examples. Some things to know before you look: U.S. currency is printed three times in sheets of 36 subjects though there have been times when 12, 16 and even 18 subject sheets were made. The back is printed first and taken to a drying room. Next the front is printed and then allowed to dry. Last, the serial numbers and Treasury shield are printed in an overprint press. Though errors are unusual, quality control at the Bureau of Engraving stops most errors from reaching the public. With billions of notes printed each year, inevitably errors are missed and find their way to the numismatic market and ultimately to collectors. The Back and front of notes have tiny numbers sometimes accompanied by a letter, that is usually placed to the right and identifies the printing plate number. The Front of notes have tiny letter and number combinations, located to the left of the Treasury seal, that indicate the position that note occupied on the sheet. See how plate positions work. The Gallery Note on values: The value ranges are for the most common types in grades AU or higher. Lower grade examples may be worth a great deal less. Denomination also plays
very low. If you find one on eBay or for sale from a source otherwise not confirmed to be knowledgeable, it is likely that the note is not genuine. Faulty Alignment (aka Miscut) Faulty alignment errors are

shifted to some degree. Shifting may be only minor or may be dramatic. These errors are relatively common and widely collected. The above misaligned dollar bill value example, graded PCGS 30PPQ (Very Fine) sold for $50 Insufficient Inking Insufficient inking errors result from poorly or inadequately filled printing plates. As a result, the note displays an image that is faint or not http://coinsite.com/us-paper-money-error-values/ fully complete. Like other currency errors, insufficient inking may be only minor, or may affect large parts of the note. Most errors of this type have insufficient inking of the 1st or 2nd printing. This Series 1963B $1 PCGS graded 64PPQ sold for $871 Inverted Back Inverted back errors might also be called notes with upside-down backs. This type of error is caused by a sheet being fed incorrectly (rotated 180 degrees) into http://papermoneyguide.com/currency_errors.html the printing press for printing of the face (backs are printed first). Inverted back errors are not very common and command relatively high premiums. Blank Back or Blank Reverse A blank back error note is one that has printing on one side, but no printing on the other. These errors are often caused by two sheets being fed into a printing press at the same time. This complete blank back error was graded 66PPQ by PCGS and sold for $500 Double or Multiple Impressions Multiple impression errors usually display an image that appears “blurry” or “fuzzy”, and may occur when a sheet is mistakenly re-fed through the press after receiving printing, or a sheet staying in place after being printed and receiving a second impression of the same design. Obstructed Printings Obstructed printing errors occur when a piece of material (usually a stray piece of paper, tape, wrapping, etc) comes between the printing plate and the uncut sheet. The result is a portion of a note with blank area. Obstructed printings are popular with error collectors, with value increasing dramatically when the item causing the obstruction is retained with the error note.

A general rule of thumb for errors is that the more noticeable the error is, the more value the note will have. Sadly, error note collecting can be dangerous because it is easy to "manufacture" errors yourself. If you have an error note you want to sell, send us a picture of it and we can make an offer. The list below is quick listing of some errors and how they happen: Shift Errors – These occur when a printing of the note doesn’t align with the note’s other two printings. These are some of the most commonly encountered errors. Offset Errors – These are fairly common and happen when wet sheets touch each other leaving imprints of other notes on them. Extra/Under Inking – These are very noticeable errors but generally don’t carry a huge premium. Certain parts (usually the black printed portions) will be too light or too dark, thus classifying them as errors. Mismatched Serial Numbers – This is fairly self-explanatory; they occur when a note has tw
