I found a bill today and looking for some feedback from the brain trust.
The top bill is for reference, what looks like a normal 1988-A Boston note. The bottom note is my find.

On the bottom bill:
--It looks like the plate position letter is completely missing from the bottom right. there's a number 5 but no letter. I've never seen that before.
--The upper left is missing completely versus a normal bill.
--On the back, normally the plate number is in the lower right of the white field, but in my bill it's in the upper right and seemingly out of position both horizontally and vertically.

I know the condition is bad and I doubt it's worth anything, I'm more interested in the what and how than how much :). I tried researching some posts but I don't see this exact thing. Comments welcomed!

Yep, a well-worn WEB Note! They rarely show up in circulation anymore. Nice find!

I remember buying 100 count consecutive numbered BEP packs of web notes from the old currency dealers when the ads started showing up in Bank Note Reporter over 30 years ago. I paid around $135 for packs and sold single notes for 3$ each. Fortunately, I was able to save a few notes and still enjoy looking at them today.

Everyone thought the web notes were the wave of the future and the old style of printing would eventually go away. Well, it didn't quite work out that way.

Those were some fun times! I hope you enjoy your found treasure for many years to come!

(OP - Just an FYI in that the title of this thread should reference the items pictured are series 1988-A and not series 1998-A.)
