Fake error $1 1973 banknotes are being sold on Ebay. This is the second such note with exactly the same error to be sold. The back of the note is inverted and mis-registered. This is an exceptional error if correct.
Accurate with the Note
Charlton BC- 46a - $1 MY prefix matches the 2 Letter Lawson-Bouey combination. There were 9,999,999 printed.
Wrong with the Note
No such errors have ever been recorded. There have been mis-registered, off center print and there have been inverted printing but there never have been both.
The paper is too thin. It looks almost transparent. It looks like these notes were printed using a printing press the paper is not correct.
The notes are missing planchets. These are the small circular dots which are randomly placed on the paper before printing. There are usually at least 2 per note. They can be scratched off to check if the note is real. These notes are clean and have none.
