Description

The listing, $2 Bill - ERROR - Federal Reserve Banknote Cutting or Printing Error has ended.

This is a 1976 $2 bill from circulation. I found it in a strap of $2’s that I purchased from my local bank. There is evidence of folds and the top and bottom corners on the left side have creases, as well as the top corner on the right.

At first inspection I thought someone had cut off the right side of the banknote, but further inspection shows there are borders on the back.

This could be a printing and cutting error.

The bill appears to be short but that is merely an optical illusion because of the missing border.

The bill measures 155mm. Most U.S. banknotes measure between 155 to 157mm, so this one is within specifications.

The normal boarder on a U.S. bill is 3 to 4-1/2mm. The left boarder on the front of this bill is 4mm but the right is less than 1/4mm.

The right boarder on the back is 3mm, but the other is 6mm.

The scans are of the banknote you will receive.

The bill will be provided in a Currency Sleeve.

You were speaking of System78's comment I believe. If so I agree.

that is actually quite common, especially on the older bills, the ones that bring a high premium are the ones where part of the border is actually cut off (unless the serial starts with 999, those are sheets and a lot of people cut them like that on purpose to sell as an error but its home made) This is a nice example though of an older note and how the BEP sometimes makes these mistakes. Looks like the 3rd printing is a little off to. :)
