US Error Notes - Should I have any of these graded?

The notes included here have errors...

  • $1 Note - Serial number misprint
  • $20 Note(s) - One has a printing error, the arched "SERIES OF 1929" overlaps "OR BY LIKE DEPOSIT" and the word "CASHIER" is not blacked out. (Similar serial numbers)
  • $50 Note - I believe this is referred to as a "Offset Print Error"

Please know that the $1 note and the $50 dollar note are fairly crisp and don't appear to have been in circulation that long.

There are also a few other notes that I am including only because I am not sure if any of those are worth grading?

Thank you,

---Mark

Woah! The $50 is a definite yes for me. That's a beauty! :golfclap:

The others I'm on the fence with as they are not what I would consider major errors, that being said I would check out a few auction archives like Heritage or Stack's and see what similar errors, in roughly the same condition have sold for to give you an idea of value.

A couple of good reference books to pick up would be Paper Money of the United States 22nd edition and United States Paper Money Errors. The Standard Catalog of World Paper Money for foreign notes.

WHOOO HOOOO!!! Finally I have something for sure that is worth sending in!!!!

That $50 was handed back to my wife when she worked at a bank as a manager years ago. The customer complained that there was a problem with the note. We were basically living week to week on our salaries but she knew enough to save it and bring it home.
