Misprinted dollar bill

[Black Mist]

So i just got change from HEB and they gave me a misprinted 1 dollar bill. now i know some of these bills can go for thousands of dollars to the right collector!. so look at your money before spending it, mine has the seal and series number all screwed up. wish i knew how to post pics here.

You go to your profile, click "Artwork" on the right, and click "upload artwork"...

With smushed numbers you're probably SOL yeah...


Even so, even in the case of it being worth something to a collector, it still usually takes years and lots of effort to sell it. Because first you have to FIND those collectors: while there may be some demand for the item, that demand itself is rare (and often unstable or prone to collector whimsy). Then you have to vet them and wait while they vet you... (They'll almost always manufacture some "issue" at this stage to try to fabricate a bargaining chip for price). Then you have to both contact the official registry that does the validation and wait for validation.


Fairly good reason honestly to just go to a pawn guy and get half instead, way less time and work.

Yes, it is important to make sure your money is authentic before trying to spend it.

I think a 20p coin in the UK went for like £60 because it had no year on it.

number errors aren't worth a whole lot. not sure about the seal...

the big money is in major errors like fold-overs.

tho I mostly just watch pawn stars lol...
