Finally arrived yesterday.

Inverted Back printing error.

Going through some red seal 1953 two dollar bills, noticed a few have the Secretary's signature beginning right under the red seal, but most have the Secretary's signature beginning under the "T" in "TWO".
Is there any significance to the placement of the Secretary's signature?? Or is it part of an overprint on the basic Obverse print?
 

Good question. As far as I know there is no significance to the placement of the series number and sigs, and I believe both are included with the second printing, face, and not the overprint, seals and serial numbers. I did some quick searching over at Heritage Auctions and it seems that there are several positions in which the series and sigs can be in and that no premium is placed on any of them, I wouldn't expect that there would be since print runs for these would probably be in the MM's. Also, due to the condition of the notes, which looks to be poor, I wouldn't expect much if any premium above face regardless of the series and sig placement rarity.
It's an interesting question and one that might be worth digging into further as I don't collect these. 

Following the instructions given me here, I spent a day and a half, more-or-less, not full time, searching completed sales on eBay over the last month or so. Some of the prices are insane. Ignoring these out-flyers I found the following unscientific, best-guess, average but seemingly realistic prices for raw, uncirculated notes:
Radar notes - $30.+.
Super Radar notes - not enough data.
Four-digit Repeater notes - $25.
Binomial (2-digit) notes - $12.
Binary (0 & 1s) notes - $35+.
Binary Fancy notes (Radars & Repeaters) - $100++.
Fancy serial number (ending 5 of a kind, 10K, etc.) notes - $10.
Unusual, attractive (book ends, 1K, etc.) notes - $7.
If anybody out there has any thoughts or observations or experiences or data related to this topic, I would greatly appreciate hearing of it.

I'd say between $50-$100.

Can you post a picture of the item please.

Matt...they're back.  
Abernathy.....Aaron Reed....Elizabeth 45...William W......Vitalik.  They are all on the main US AND WORLD NOTES section.
There must be a reason why they keep showing up here and not in the coin sections.

Check sold listings on ebay, Heritage Auctions and Stack's Bowers archives, etc., to determine FMV.

Did a quick search over at HA and I'd estimate $30 - $50 if graded 65/66. Try searching by the Friedberg number, Fr. 2075-B, that should pull up a bunch of examples. 

Welcome to the other side NEC. Don't get much crossover here for some reason, you would think more coin collectors would have some interest in notes as well. 
The note and sig combo is pretty common so the note would have to grade astronomically high to recoup the grading fees. The note has average centering and the ink appears light or faded in the images, I have a hard time imagining the note going over 65-66 which is not high enough to justify grading. 
While it's basically impossible to grade a note from images as there are several factors to consider which require that the note be in hand such as paper quality, embossing, etc., but it is possible to guestimate a general range in which one thinks the note might land. It's also necessary to view the note with side lighting as that will reveal hidden creases and folds that may not be visible in an image or in hand under normal lighting.

I don't go out of my way for notes but I do collect if I find something. Found this basically and I say "basically" because I don't know much about alignment of bills, paper quality etc pristine crisp 1985 $20
Was just curious if it is worth grading or not. What the value could be since it doesn't have any fancy serial numbers etc. just amazing condition. Thank you for your information and or opinions.

@Fenntucky Mike nice seeing you here. Know you from NGC chats. Hope all is well! Maybe you have some advice or opinions?

What you're looking for doesn't exist as far as I know and if it did it is definitely not available to the general public. You can try contacting PMG directly to see if they can provide the information you're looking for but if I remember correctly I believe I read that PMG does not keep a record of serial numbers that have been graded. Let us know if PMG was able to help you. Good luck.

To get top dollar your best bet is to probably sell through an auction house depending on what the collection consists of. Auction houses will charge a fee per item to sell them but the fee is probably less than the discount you would have to take to sell them to a dealer. Of course some people don't want to go through the long process of selling a collection via auction and even though they sell the collection at a discount to a dealer the seller still comes out way ahead sometimes due to the prices they paid when purchasing the notes and the length of time they held them. 

Hello, welcome to the forum.
I see what looks like blotchiness on the note, makes me wonder if the seal and serial numbers weren't removed on purpose or due to other factors. The other odd thing is that both seals and serial numbers are applied at the same time during the third printing, that you have the left seal and four "5's" makes me suspicious as well. This is not a note that I would purchase site unseen, online, unless it was authenticated by a TPG or it was a screaming deal with little to no risk.
If it was authenticated as a missing or obstructed print error the value would be around a few hundred dollars.

I'm not seeing anything worth over $100 imo, or at least right around there. They all seem to be fairly common notes, well, notes from FRB's that come up for sale with some frequency, and are in heavily circulated condition, and that paper clip stain really puts a hurting on their value. 

nevermind, I did find it, Thank you Mike.
