Title: BEJ Serial Number alignment
Post by: JohnnyG5 on March 18, 2005, 07:50:39 am

Hi All:

FYI: I got an uncirculated $10 out of an HSBC bank machine and when I turned it over to see what the serial number was I noticed that the right serial number is higher than the left. Not by a drastic amount, but enough to be noticeable.

Maybe there are some 'drastic' serial number shifts out there.

The attached file gives you an idea of the shift.

John

Sorry...But this degree of misaligment is not sufficient to have any value nor interest :-/ .  It's the normal variation found on a large number of notes.
It's only when the numbers are higher or lower than the bar code (if correctly placed), or have a large lateral displacement that the note begin to be interesting or valuable.

I agree. These types of serial number errors occur all the time. They will not get any premium.
