wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 09/16/2015 09:33 am I know nothing about this note. Is it rare? The upper one can't find any color fibers but it is printed as good as the lower one. The lower one looks better subjectively and have color fibers found. Is the lower one is genuine and the upper note fake? Thank you any given idea. Report this Post to the Staff

lettow Pillar of the Community United States 742 Posts	Posted 09/16/2015 09:45 am There were two different printings of these notes. One has gray-green underprint, watermark and block numbers 1-69. The other has lilac underprint, no watermark and blocks 70-165. You have one of each type. They are probably both genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
