Need the opinion of an expert. Misprinted dollars

Hello everyone,

I have three 1996 50$ bills with consecutive serial numbers. The middle one has an "insufficient inking" error, it is almost blank in the reverse. Both three are in uncirculated state. Here is the scan from each side;

I can provide more pictures if it's something interesting.

I want opinions on whether to sell them or keep them. How much are they worth?

Thanks in advance.

    The note with the nearly blank back would have to be examined in person to determine if the ink had been removed after printing. If a genuine error it should probably be slabbed by a major service if you want to get the best money for it.

    I have no idea as to value.

    All glory is fleeting.
  • Can you show close up pictures face and back sides of all 3 individual notes? We want to be sure as to what type of error we are dealing with to better determine it's value.

    The linen is too clean (white). Is the OP’s pic white-balance off?

    What’s up with edges? Looks like a photocopy.

    Need more pics with a different background and/or lighting.

  • I was alerted to the fact that some collector on this board was considering making you an offer for these 3 notes, so I am just going to come out and say it. It is my expert opinion that your three $50 notes are in fact fake and not worth the paper they are printed on.

    I agree with Coach.
    Not enough detail in the portraits, among other things.
