Title: 20.00 misprint
Post by: starburst_43 on June 22, 2007, 07:14:18 pm

Here goes first i'm a rookie and the terminology escapes me, forgive this.
 
 I have come accross a canadian 20.00 in circulation, serial #EZT1728792 printed 2006. Not in great shape but not bad all of the security features are there but get this most everthing on the front of this bill is also present on the reverse only inverted. It is as if the ink has bled thround to the other side however it is so uniform that it had to be pressed this way.  The queens face is under the native artwork  the only 20 on the face , the bank of canada on the right border the coat of arms  and CANADA VINGT TWENTY DOLLARS are all extremely prominent yet inverted on the back of this bill. This is so cool i know its not a fake as i am a cashier and identified all of the security features  i would really appreciate any information also what might  this bill be worth if it is a true misprint.    Thanks

HeyStarburst

could you post a scan of the note or a photo it could be worth keeping by the sound of things... it look like this?

Hey starburst,  Nice find!  Your note is not 100% offset as there is no dark # 20 below the lighter one towards the left side like the one on ebay.

I would think yours would sell for about $100-$150? This is just a guess errors are not really my thing but maybe someone else could give an estimate too.

I agree with Gary_T. I purchased on off of the forums a few months ago for $110. The note was not as dramatic but it was in better condition. Very nice find.
