Check your currency too. I got this one dollar bill back in change today and put it on the currency forum to be checked out because I know nothing about currency. That's the best pics I can get.

Very cool
You must send it for grading!
Where's the Treasury seal?

The treasury seal can be erased with an electric eraser.

It the federal reserve seal that's missing
That can also be removed with an electric eraser.

That's pretty cool !

Like I said ... I don't know anything about currency, but when I seen the blank spot I knew something was missing. I didn't know that erasing was possible.
Series 1969... that's been hiding out somewhere for a while.
Collector, occasional seller
Well preserved note that was not lost To attrition.
Good job recognizing and saving it.

Since I do not collect currency, and have no idea how to evaluate or grade bills, can an erased seal be visually detected with light and magnification? I would 'guess' it could...much like the buffed/whizzed/polished surface of a coin...Yes or no? Cheers, RickO
@ricko
Same here .. I know nothing about currency... But I'm willing to bet your right .. there must be away to detect erased seals. I'm hoping to hear back from the Currency Forum soon.
@Jimnight ....Please come back here and let us know what they say. Cheers, RickO
Erasers are abrasive, so you should be able to look at paper fibers with a loupe to see if they are damaged, pulled out, etc. Compare these to another note of similar condition. Not sure if you can determine if it was removed chemically. Once again, there may be some fiber damage or discoloration that is visible when magnified, but I never had an opportunity to personally check one.
@Oldhoopster....Thank you... I felt there must be some evidence...Cheers, RickO
Also missing are 3 1/2 of the 4 Federal Reserve Bank numbers - most of the "2" is visible in the lower left below the first letter of the serial number,
This might complicate authentication somewhat. The printing of the seal and FRB numbers often/usually leaves an embossed effect visible from the reverse. If the sheet missed that printing step entirely then thee would be no signs of this embossing. In your case, this is at best a major inking error or another object having blocked the printing, so the embossing might still be visible.
I hope it turns out to be real - it is a great find!
nice catch that's for sure
Plus the obverse margins are way off. Neat bill!
