Question
I have a 1988 $10 bill where the reverse side has a partial inverted print of the front side that is approximately 1/2 inch wide. The bill is in excellent condition, though it has been circulated. I am curious what the bill is worth and how one would go about selling it.
Roxanne,
If a sheet fails to properly enter the printing press, the inked plates will transfer their image to the impression cylinder, instead of the paper. The next 6 or 7 sheets will then receive an additional reversed impression from the cylinder while the other side of the note is being printed. The result is an offset printing in reverse on the already printed side.
Approximate retail value range: $100 - $200

Expertise
My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.
