Altered polymer notes with missing backs on eBay
Aug 22, 2007 03:18 PM Category: Misc.
Thomas Krause of Polymat has brought to my attention potentially deceptive eBay auctions. If you search eBay for “polymer missing” you will find a seller listing various polymer banknotes, all with missing faces or backs.
The notes are listed at prices that would be ridiculously low for genuine errors, but you will see why once you examine the actual listings. The listing explains that the notes have “been altered to look like a MISPRINTED polymer banknote.”
Thomas Krause theorizes that the seller or his supplier is using an industrial solvent to remove the printing on one side of each note. This seller is at least honest enough to admit that the notes have been altered, and he does offer a money back guarantee, but some buyers may pass off these alterations as real printing errors, so please take care when buying any so-called error notes.
