    Hello!
    This is my first post on this forum, I just discovered this page and hopefully can get some insight about several notes in my collection. Ive had this 5 Lire note for some time. I purchased it in a large collection of Allied notes and noticed right away that it is missing its green printing on the face. Ive also taken a picture of my star replacement 5 Lire not for comparison. Anyone else ever seen one missing the green printing before?

    The note looks pretty beat up !....LOL i only have a few of these but looks like
    the color may have faded away depending on the elements it was exposed to
    just my two cents !

    I disagree. I have seen at least one other similar 5 lire note and there was no question it was an error. I will ask at the upcoming MPCFest.

    Since the note is in such bad condition unless there was a way to determine
    By serial number that there was a definitive error on this note, i would have
    to stand by my original analysis.

    It may be determined by serial number.

    Can you post a high resolution scan of both sides of the note?

    A lot of these are a result of being washed...I've seen many, in uniform buys, over the years or as a result of being displayed for decades.

    Hello,
    I've attached a few close up pictures. No matter what it is, the note still has a place in my collection!

    Scans are better than pictures. Also need to see the back.

    Based on the detailed pic,s still staying with "Faded" not an error you can see
    Something was once there especially on the corner pic !
