I got a ten dollar bill with some ink smudges on the tens and some other weird marks on is. It is miss aligned and I wondered if it is worth any thing

Picture would help, could be worth 20 to 40... years in prison if counterfeit.
Just pulling your leg, a photo would help.

Hi, stacycouch!

What year is it and what are the names on it? Also, do you know what the graded condition of it is, please?

There is some other information that would be helpful to know. But, those are the basics right now in order to get started here.

Flying Blue Eagle has the current documentation on such currency. He might want more information.

Thanks!

This is the ten dollaer bill

Did this one help

The marks are exactly the same on both sides. I've never seen this on a bill before.

This is the front

Lol I hope its not counterfit

these are valued at about the same; fine-$150.00;;EFis $250.00 and last is CU- $450.00; STACY -GO to this site to find out just what [condition and grade your bill is,} 1.9)how do you grade the condition of paper money then you will know just what the grade is on this ten dollar bill is ;; IF you need any more help on this ,just come back to this site and holler;; Have a great day and GOD BLESS ::F.B.E.

Hi this is stacy again just wondering if you looked at my post of my ten dollar bill yet.. just wonted to know if it was worth keeping or should I sell

Thank you so much and yes I would like to get the info to sell it... but I don't won't to be railroaded on it so if you would give me some names and I will get it graded. Thank you so much

Hi again, stacycouch!

I have some up-to-date books for reference and pricing, but Flying Blue Eagle has many more resources than I do.

Thanks!

Flying eagle... thank you and I think my note is fine to very fine... but should I send it off to be graded by someone who really knows what they are doing?. I'm new at this , I don't know what to do... I also have a lot of star dollars... another ten dollar bill that is a 1950 bill. So a list of people that would be interested in my error bill would be greeatly appreciated. [Personal contact information removed for privacy.] thanks and sorry to keep bothering you::

Have you tried the US Mint? I wonder if you could scan, send to them, and see what they say about the note.

I needed to remove your personal contact information from your last post, stacycouch. I would hate to see you get spammed because it was visible here. Also, once a thread has been started, all information needs to stay on the thread so that others with similar question can benefit by the information that's exchanged.

Flying Blue Eagle has been collecting coins and currency for many decades. He loves discussing about numismatics and truly, really does know his stuff!

Also, if you have other currency about which you need information, we would appreciate it if you would please start new threads about the different ones so that the information on the threads will be about the specific notes.

Thanks!
