Question
I have a $20.00 bill with no serial number or seal on the front nor the back. Can you till me what the value is?
And who in New Orleans, La would buy it?

Answer
Hi Sherrell, 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 $100 or more.
You might try the following Paper Money Errors links:

You may also find similar pieces on Ebay.com for comparison and as a place to offer it for sale.
You might take it by a local coin shop for a first hand opinion: http://find.mapmuse.com/interest/coin_dealers .
