USA 1 Dollar 1969 Series Size Error(?) (P#449a) [solved]

Good day,

I have recently received the 1969 series of the US 1 dollar notes, all UNC (P#449a of N#201805). I was measuring all of the notes as some appeared visibly off in size. The off-sized notes and their measurements are as follows:

B (New York) 157.5x66

D (Cleveland) 155x66

H (St. Louis) 154.5x65.5

I (Minneapolis) 158x66

J (Kansas City) 155.5x65.5

For reference the supposed size is 156x67mm.

My questions regarding this are
1) How rare is this potential error in this specific series/are any of your notes of this series like this?

2) Do you think that these are even worth considering an error?

3) What would you value these notes at, individually?

Thank you in advance,

Daniel LeBowsky

Edit: fixing the link so that it works.

I am only speaking for myself (IMO)

1) How rare is this potential error in this specific series/are any of your notes of this series like this?

It's very common. Variances between 1 or 2 mm+/- are very common. I have some notes that the right hand size is much taller than the left and I do not consider them as errors. It's probably that the cutting machine needs to have a service and perhaps to tighten some bolts and nuts.
 

2) Do you think that these are even worth considering an error?

No, unless it is say 5mm+ longer. On the other hand, if the size is shorter by say 5mm, I would be worried about the note too. Be also aware that some geniuses may cut them out of an uncut sheet and sell it as error too. 
 

3) What would you value these notes at, individually?

Whatever the current catalogue value, which I do not have. On this site, it says that the G (Chicago) is worth about $5, which you do not have.

I agree with ahkai as errors are typically dramatic & noticeable to collectors & layman alike.

That's why a lot of collectors use the general rule of thumb that you need to see the border of the next note (or selvedge) to consider the note a cut off size “error.”

Thank you both for your help! I’ll simply disregard the variation in size and add them to my collection as regular notes.
