Question
I have a series 1995 One Dollar Bill that the front has bled through to the back. Is it worth anything and where would I find out about where to sell it.

Thanks
Paul

Answer
Hi Paul, Error value depends on date, type and extent of the error as well as amount of folds or wear and collector demand.
If a sheet fails to enter the printing press, the inked plates will transfer their image to the impression cylinder. The next 6 or 7 sheets will receive the 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 value range: $100 - $300
