Enough for an error? 1928 $10 Atlanta

CurrenSee

Picked this up over the weekend. Enough for an minor misalignment error designation or just a case of very bad centering?

Cool note, I like it! I would say just bad centering. If you were able to see a slight portion of another note in the top margin, then you would have a winner.

I agree as far as an error goes. Nice pick up though.

I think that it just barely meets the criteria we have to be called a minor error, because the serial numbers do just touch at the district seal and along the top border design. While it probably doesn't add a whole lot of value, it's a cool note and a nice looking Atlanta 1928 series Fed to boot!

Excellent pickup!



And I agree regarding error, very minor.

Nice note.



IMO it is just bad centering / alignment.



I have a $5 LT with a small part of the frame of the above note showing, and don't really call it an error.



As an early small size $10 FRN collector, I have / have seen seen notes centered with the numbers touching America, and other times, into the Treasurer's signature.



All of the above COULD be considered errors, but too minor to be of any interest to an error collector.

An error by any other name................as a 1928 head I have seen several similar notes within the series.Certainly there's much merit in Jason's comments as well as the others.My take on this note is I personally would not call this note an error as,to me,an error note needs to be a bit more "obvious" for lack of a better term.It's like I told my kids over the years about a broken arm......if you have to ask if it's broken,then it's not-if it IS broke,you'll have no doubts! This is certainly not the "industry's"take on this-it is my own.That stated,an error can be in the eye of the beholder to some degree,but,if a "so called error" adds no value,then most likely,as in this case,it can actually lower the value.
