Hi Dean,

Good eye. I'd say it would command a small premium, since it is not a major error. Maybe the note could sell for $10-$15.

I have examined thousands of new fives and found a couple like yours with the HPR prefix. They are a small offset error... but I like them....

I'll keep this note and since it's only VG, it didn't cost me a cent more than $5!

Maybe I'll find another one, but now that paper money is being phased out, it is unlikely...

I have been fascinated by the manner in which these offsets happen. In going through a whole bunch of UNC notes I was able to find an offsetter and an offsettee - side by side they look like the image below. Notice how the intgalio from the offsetter is peeled off and transferred to the ofsettee.

I have held on to both the notes. Nice pair

Wonder what paper money would say if it could talk?
