United States 1950A 10 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Chicago District with Butterfly Fold Error extending from the lower right corner, PMG 64 EPQ Choice Uncirculated, showing misprinted triangular fold pattern

United States 1950A - 10 Dollars Federal Reserve Note Chicago District Butterfly Fold Error (Friedberg 2011-G)

This 1950A 10 Dollars Federal Reserve Note from the Chicago District (Friedberg 2011-G, GB Block) displays a striking Butterfly Fold Error, one of the most visually dramatic mechanical mishaps encountered in modern U.S. currency production. During printing, a corner of the paper was unintentionally folded over, causing part of the note’s design to print on the folded flap and leaving an unprinted void once the fold was later unfolded. The result is a note with a pronounced triangular blank area extending beyond the normal border, creating the distinct 'butterfly wing' appearance that gives this error its name. Read more →
