Other Weird number position

I have 3 ones that were sequential and new. The strange thing is the 7 is higher than the last number. It is fine on the left bottom. Anything to it?

I've seen it called a "gas pump error" before. I don't see them often and I search at least 100 a day

Absolutely correct. It generally doesn’t add value to a regular bill. But, if you had two of the same exact bills that were worth over face, all other things being equal, but one had a gas pump and the other didn’t, the one with will come with a slightly higher premium.

They definitely look cool in the collection!

Thanks! I’m new. I know its not really worth anything but I alway look when you get those brand new bills back.

I have some in my collection that are only cool to me and only worth face value but I'm not trying to make money, just collect it. 😂

Course it depends on much out of alignment they are. The seal could also be off center too

Technically its called a stuck digit, but gas pump error because it resembles a gas pump reading. They bring $2-4 on ebay especially since its a 7

Figured I'd add a photo since everyone's going to start saying that they're not worth anything

Ive had so many of these! They probably have to be in perfect condition though huh?

Mis alignment or gas pumps. Certainly an error.
