So was I Matty, Normally if the description in the listing is BS then the coin/note is BS as well  Did you notice the serial number is a mirror image ? Edited by trout1105

Im 99.9999% sure its genuine. It would be almost impossible to remove those details so carefully without interupting the lower layers.

 The story is still BS tho. 47 years ago we had ATM's  I have never seen an ATM that dispenses $5 notes and the "a slight ink run through the white empty white box bottom left ." Stinks of acetone to me  There is also the drama of ( if genuine) this bloke actually has this note, or if it is a stolen pic as well Too many iff's about this listing to be genuine or believable  |

The story is obviously a load of crap but the note is genuine. Why dont you go and have a crack at removing that much detail. Post a picture for us when you do.

I am not trying to wind you up at all Mate, It's just that the listing has absolutely NO credibility at all  |

Theres no way I would buy that note off of ebay with a stupid price like that and a load of crap description but I really think that its impossible to make that note with acetone. I'm sure when you wiped your $10 the other day you realised how hard it is to take off certain sections at a time, yet alone certain layers without touching layers underneath. |

I simply wiped/rubbed the note with an acetone soaked tissue to prove a point without being creative  I get "can't be done" "impossible" from my blokes at work all the time, But at the end of the day the job is done There ARE some cleaver buggers out there so never underestimate what some people will do to turn $5 into $5,000. Any stuff ups can be easily disposed of by simply spending them until they get the knack of doing it right I seriously doubt that this is a genuine note because there would have been a whole sheet of them (That are inspected) and the Q&A at the press is quite stringent. IF these notes were printed individually I could believe it. They are not so I recon the listing is a scam and the spelling of the listing gives the Country origin of the seller away as well  |

Yes, I think the 1955 reference was likely a typo and was probably meant to be 1995 (same year as the note). ATMs have been around since 1977 so perhaps it's true, who knows.  Trout, the grammar is a little ordinary, but who knows ..... interesting user name. Feedback suggests he's a philatelist. |

I agree that 1955 is a typo and should be 1995.
Also, in the early 80s when ATMs first appeared they did dispense $5 notes (of course they were paper ones back then).
In the early 90s I worked at a bank branch and we had 2 ATMs. One dispensed 50s and 20s, the other 20s and 10s. So it is unlikely that he really did get it from an ATM but its possible that other banks/credit unions might have dispensed 5s at the time.
The note however does look genuine. I dont think you can remove the black ink but leave all the other ink behind. But at $5000 I won't be going anywhere near it.
