Question
Dear brad i saw somone had posted that they had a 1953 series C two dollar bill that was misprinted. I also have a bill that looks just like that # A 79129777 A i was wondering what a bill like this might be worth

Answer
Hi Thomas, what kind of misprint does yours have?
A regular 1953C $2 note may be worth about $2-$3 with wear to maybe $8 if uncirculated (no wear).

Error value depends on date, type and extent of the error as well as amount of folds or wear and collector demand.
