Hi, I found the $50 note below - a 1999 IG99xxxxx... but haven't come across any others... Anyone seen this gap anomaly? I have two 2008 notes that have a much lesser gap - but haven't seen another like this one. I don't suppose there is any extra value here - because in this condition (EF or so) & being a general prefix it only caries a $50 value, despite its fine vintage. What about a $50 note with a serial number that looks like it is printed in BOLD writing ? I can post a pic later on... Thanks, Dan   |

I don't know about the gap ,i'd be more interested in the different coloured shading on the queens chest & chin areas,does'nt look normal to me.

I found a couple similar: LA 99795448  JI 99 668093  Dunno about the different colour on DEC's chest and chin though, that could make it an interesting note, if it's an ink problem. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

A lot of notes from the same years will come out similar because they are generally printed using the same methods. You might find a fair proportion of notes from that year 1999 which have the same gap. From my prized notes I noticed that - VG95 has a gap. - FA08 271271 (with a decent gap) & FA 271272 (normal) - Another is the one pictured below a 99 note with an error, the second photo (excuse the quality, taken on my HTC...this one has probably the biggest spacing):   It seems like a fairly occasional thing. The interesting part is the overlaping colours on the light blue & orange bar (parallel to the left of it). |

I have a DA96 688 963 Note with same gap, also the note is printed 1-2mm to the right(meaning looks like someone cut a 1mm or 2, it has'nt been but is this rare?)on number side, other side normal

Lostsean, if the margin is way out of wack, like literally 5mm or more it may be considered scarce but not rare. When you start pushing out even further, you'd probably be talking rare.

 Goatie man, on that I re looked at that note DA96 and compared it with a AA96(laid it over the clear windows and aligned stars, (so DA on top of AA)Colored strips lines up also, but note was about 2-2.5mm longer on left and about 1.5mm shorter at the top. It is both side that are doing it, not 1. hope this helps out on one side |

LostSean; the best thing about that DA96 is it's a scarcer note to find. The issue with a minor mis-alignment is that dealers won't consider this to be an error &/or fault. If a collector considers it a fault, it's a different story completely.

Also, one year of notes were actually about 2-3mm longer than the rest. I'm not sure which year, but I remember looking through quite a lot of notes & noticing the same year again & again.

I have also noticed the 2-3mm difference some $50 notes. I haven't looked through nearly enough to determine that it occurs in particular on one year.

If the photos are of whole notes they may be over 5MB which will bust the optimiser.

AM print looks like someone has had a go at them with a stamp/stampad etc.
As for the BK08 371761; the first one being thicker. I see quite a few examples of that in $50's. I've kept only one of thos because the 9 in it was so thick that it almost hooked over completely.
The final pic, same; someone has had a go at them with a stamp/stampad etc. The numbers are larger than the serial number, the positioning of them is not correct for it to be an error, because the serial number is not reversed.
