    This bill is not in great condition, clearly, but I noticed some odd things about it. First off, the left face of the bill is set far to the left, and low. The right side has a lot of space but shows no part of the next bill. Secondly, the green seal is offset compared to other 20s I've seen. Most other bills seal starts on the first leg of the W, but this one is set farther to the right. The back is also quite offset. When held to the light, it's easy to see that what is printed on the front is not alligned with what is on the back. Wondering if this is worth anything more than face value. Honesty is appreciated. Thank you.

    Condition is always a factor. Besides folds/ wrinkles, this note has a tear.
    $21.

    $21 would be accurate value.

    Give you full face, but there is nothing at all special, even if it was in
    Mint condition, a cointalk rule CONDITION IS EVERYTHING !!

    Thank you. I'm not a collector of money at all. I was just curious.

    @Shawna, welcome to CT! :happy:

    Yeah, the condition is brutal. Although it does display some misalignment, it's not significant enough for any added value. :(

    On the other hand, it could be a "birthday note":

    16th month,
    66th day,
    of the year 1461, or

    yr 1666,
    14th month,
    61st day, :p:D:joyful::hilarious:
