: Based on your description you may have a double error.  

: Bills are printed, usually 36 at a time, on large sheets of paper that go through multiple steps; the serial numbers and seals are done in the final pass. If one of the sheets is accidentally fed upside down it'll produce what's called an inverted overprint error.

: The cutting process is also subject to errors.  Normally the tolerances are fairly wide so there's no premium for a bill where the 2 borders* are uneven, but if part of a neighboring bill shows this is considered to be a significant mistake.  If your bill doesn't show part of its neighbor it probably doesn't qualify, though.

: Alone, an overprint error could bring a retail price of $200 or more, while a misalignment error could be worth  $300+ depending on the amount of offset.  I wouldn't want to guess what a combination of the two would be worth because it's not something you see very often.  You'd need to get competing estimates from a couple of people who deal in currency errors.

: (*) To clear things up, there was only one series of 1985 $1 bills printed.  The series is designated by a small letter next to the date.  "G" indicates the Federal Reserve District that distributed the bill rather that the series.

: "Boarder" is a person who rents a room long-term. To quote comedian Yakov Smirnov: "English - what a language!" 

: : I have a new 1985 G series one dollar bill which is misprinted. The seals and serial #s are upside down and reversed. The top part of the bill shows part of the bottom BORDER [boarder] and the bottom of the the bill is partially cut off. Can anyone tell me if this bill is of special value.
