It was then discovered it could be easily removed and many fakes appeared. I don't believe there would be any premium similar to the missing holograms on the current polymer series.

As stated earlier once people figured out how to take the hologram off all notes with this error won't be touched..... There's no way you can authenticate if it was a true error or a doctored note these days. If the note is UNC and this is your friend and you want the note offer them unc price for the note with no premium for the error. Report this Post to the Staff
