NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17921 Posts	Posted 03/20/2021 12:14 pm The Change Checker website has posted a blog about a rare 'faceless' Bank of England £10 note 'worth thousands of pounds'... https://www.changechecker.org/2021/...s-of-pounds/ To me this looks like a defaced note. As soon as the polymer banknotes appeared in the UK, people started rubbing out parts of the design with an ordinary pencil eraser. One of our tabloid newspapers even gave a demonstration on its website of how to remove the Queen's face from a £10 note: I can't see how this could possibly be an error. If the sheet of polymer had a fold or crease in it, you could get a blank stripe across the note, and if a foreign object got stuck to the sheet as it went into the press, it could obscure part of the design, but the chances of it just neatly obscuring the Queen's face and nothing else is a million to one. I've written to Change Checker and told them I think this is a damaged note and worth only face value!

walk2dwater Pillar of the Community Canada 2575 Posts	Posted 03/20/2021 6:48 pm Shortly after our 2013 $5 & $10 were released here in Canada super rare "missing holographic strips" popped up on "planet ebay." Yes, the slight silver layer on the strip can easily be removed by rubbing alcohol (or some other solvent) & no, they're not real errors. I would believe you are correct 'NumisRob' & would be highly suspicious of any missing feature on any polymer banknote these days. Great post & thanks for sharing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc8Kx5wCI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LeYOYtSAoc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq1DlqkPHhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsCjxldIao Report this Post to the Staff

The newspaper reporter dipped both a paper and a polymer note in a bowl of curry. The paper note was badly stained but the polymer note was undamaged! I tried to insert a link to the article in my last post but couldn't get it to work. Trying again... https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/4466...ly-a-rubber/ My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Edited by NumisRob 03/21/2021 05:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
