Question
What kind of value does a 20 with no tres. Stamp on it hold I work at a grocery store, I found it while counting down a till

Answer
Hi Randy, no treasury seal means it may have missed one of the printings or it could be on the back if the note got accidentally flipped.
Error value depends on date, type and extent of the error as well as amount of folds or wear and collector demand. This may be worth about $40 or more.
