appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 09:19 am 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. Edited by appleangel07 06/21/2012 09:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
awildeheart Valued Member Australia 295 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 11:32 am 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!"

penny dreadful Valued Member Australia 318 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 6:43 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
