Seems similar to marks I saw on US banknotes whilst travelling around Asia.  Apparently currency converters stamp notes that they have confirmed as genuine so as to avoid counterfeits.

looks real to me as you can see the patten lines on top of it , so

looks like it was on the blank before the note was printed ..   ,, kel ,,

Mmmm... I checked this note in person, and it definitely looked like a rubber-stamp to me.

That said, much like the overpunched coins we see now and then, it would be a keeper, for curiosity value if nothing else.. if it weren't a $50. That's a fair chunk to tie up, methinks.

I haven't seen any actual notes with stamps like this on them, but there have been pictures posted that I've seen.  I think the consensus of opinion was rubber stamp put on by Bank Teller or Cashier.  Even if I was a note collector, I'd send it back to the wild.

Here's a reasonably lengthy discussion about them:
