United States One Dollar Federal Reserve Note (Error Note)

This item is a United States One Dollar Federal Reserve Note, featuring the portrait of George Washington on the obverse. The note is presented in a clear, rigid plastic sleeve, indicating an intent to preserve its current condition. The most significant and distinguishing feature is the prominent red 'ERROR' stamp overlaid on the top left corner of the note, covering part of the 'FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE' text. This stamp is an aftermarket modification and not an official part of the currency printing process. The note itself has the serial number G 77026075 C, visible on both the left and right sides. The Federal Reserve Seal, in green, is located on the right side of Washington's portrait. Signatures of the Treasurer of the United States and the Secretary of the Treasury are present below the serial numbers. The general coloration of the bill is the standard green and black ink on off-white paper. While the note appears to be somewhat crisp, indicating it may be in uncirculated or lightly circulated condition, it's difficult to ascertain precise wear and tear due to the protective sleeve. No overt tears, folds, or repairs are visible within the sleeve. The note's dimensions are standard for U.S. currency, approximately 6.14 inches by 2.61 inches. The style period is contemporary, likely from the early 21st century given the general design elements and the legibility of the signatures and serial number. The 'ERROR' stamp is a unique aspect that significantly alters the typical presentation of a dollar bill and suggests it may have been created as a novelty or protest piece, rather than an official printing error.
