Interesting little note listing on eBay - a $5 with no image of the queen.

I think its been bleached or something. You can clearly see the other side showing through.

Hi Pedro,the thing I find a bit suspicious with this note is the majority of the folds & crease are concentrated in the area where the queens pic would normally be.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that if those particular notes 92,93 had problem with the final coat peeling off & taking print with it, this could explain why it's so crease in the area in question.
I would'nt touch it thats for sure.

While I may not be up there with Leonardo Di Caprio's character in Catch me if you can - this note screams "Bad forgery!"

Fonts, colours, density, signatory format - well, just about everything - is wrong.

To quote another movie, the ever popular Monty Python's Holy Grail: "Run away! Run away!"

Must say that I was intrigued but not tempted! A little surprised that there have been five bidders so far.

PPD! Post print damage! A new acronym for us!
I admit, I am powerless over $50 notes - to the point that my life has become unmanageable because of this addiction. I am a NOTE-A-HOLIC

Sounds like a winner - pop it into the CCF "lexicon"!

PPD. I like that...

You'd think that with such a striking 'error' that no one else in the life of that note had picked up on it.....suss to the max.

Thats just plain wrong that is.
People must be just so deperate to have something they think is special they'll bid on anything.
