An offset error occurs when a paper sheet fails to enter the printing press. Ink is transferred from the plates to the impression cylinder, which then acts like a plate for the next few sheets. The offset image was intended for the other side of the bill, so it comes out reversed. Offset errors are reasonably valuable, and can retain in the $250 range depending on quality and denomination. Be careful to distinguish the terminology from an alignment error, which is sometimes erroneously called an offset error. Alignment errors occur when a sheet of bills slips and is cut so that the line runs through the images instead of between the bills. Each piece ends up with parts of the images of 2 adjacent bills. Alignment errors are considered to be quite valuable, ranging well over $500.

Value of dollar bill with back plate number error?
The value of a dollar bill with a back plate number error could be worth a variety of different prices. This really depends on the type of error present.
What is the value of a 1977 US dollar bill with offset margins on the back?
It depends on the extent of the offset. If the entire back image is visible, the bill has no added value. But if part of another bill is showing it's considered to be a sigificant alignment error; you should have it inspected by someone who specializes in error currency. Unlike bills printed by other countries that have very strict alignment tolerances, US bills (especially older ones) can be offset by as much as a few millimeters and still pass inspection, so long as the image on each side is complete.

Is an off centered 1 dollar bill worth any money?
Yes, depending on how dramatic the error is, it might be worth some money. I would take in your bill to a coin dealer and see what he has to say about it. It most likely won't be a $100 error, but might be worth $3-5 if you find the right person.
What is the value of an offset 1950 US 5 dollar bill?
It's not clear what's meant by "offset". If the word describes a bill whose image isn't correctly aligned, its value depends on the amount of misalignment. If the entire image is visible and all that's off-center is the border, the bill has no extra value. But if part of another bill is visible it's considered to be a major error; retail values could be in the $200 range depending on how much of the second bill shows. In any case it would have to be examined in person by a dealer or appraiser who specializes in error currency to determine a more-specific price.
I have a 1985 5 bill with the back design printed on both sides ie the Lincoln Memorial is printed across Lincolns face How do I find out if this is worth anything?
Without seeing it in person it's difficult to say, but you may have what's called an offset error. A key factor is whether the back-side image that's on the front is also a mirror image rather than being the same direction as the back image on a normal bill. If it's reversed, that increases the chance that your bill is an offset error but you should still have it checked in person by an expert; offset errors can be worth as much as a couple of hundred dollars. To explain an offset error, the images on US bills are printed in at least three stages. Sometimes a sheet of paper gets stuck and doesn't go through one of the stages. That causes ink to be put onto a part of the press called the impression cylinder instead of onto the paper. When the next sheet gets unstuck and goes through correctly it picks up not only the ink it's supposed to get but also picks up the ink from the impression cylinder, so it receives two images one of which is backwards.
What is the value of a 1987 50 dollar bill with offset serial numbers?
This error is easy to miss. It's caused by a stuck counter wheel. Retail prices range in the $100 to $200 area.
How much is an off center front one dollar bill worth?
Its value depends on how much the bill is off centered. If the bill simply has uneven borders it's not worth anything extra. If you can see part of a different bill it will be worth more. In any case it should be inspected by a dealer or appraiser who specializes in error currency.
Which side of paper money is valuable or considered money?
Not a valid question. BOTH sides are necessary for a bill to be considered as standard currency. A bill with one side missing is a major printing error and can be worth quite a lot to an error collector.
Is a 1988 ten dollar bill that has the overstamp on the face from the back of the bill on it will it increase the value?
It sounds like you may have an "offset error". These retail in excess of $200.An offset error happens when the press that prints bills doesn't pick up a sheet so it makes a "naked" pass. Ink from the plates is transferred to the cylinder that's supposed to hold the paper, so when the next few sheets do go through they get an extra image from the cylinder, as well as the one they're supposed to get from the printing plate.
