rosi New Member Slovakia (Slovak Republic) 2 Posts	Posted 10/22/2016 10:23 am Hello. I don't know if this is a good section of forum to ask, if not, please forgive. I pulled this £5 note out of circulation nearly 7 years ago, and would like to know, if it has any collector's value. Many thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 10/22/2016 11:40 am I am not an expert on these notes. I do see that the back of the note is not centered. While the design is closer to the bottom than the top, none of the design is missing. When part of the design is missing the notes have some collector value as an error note. I don't think your note has any premium value because all the design elements are there. Please wait for another opinion. There's no harm in keeping it if you find it interesting.

Your £5 note looks fairly crisp but has several major creases. To me, this is not worth more than face value, unfortunately. Keep hunting! Report this Post to the Staff
