Message:: [QUOTE="krispy, post: 1315782, member: 19065"]My same advice from another thread where you mentioned this note, but here for you too... A scan would be a much better option  for the resolution and detail and so that the lens of any camera doesn't  distort the shape of the notes. The lighting too would be greatly improved with a scan of the note. It's impossible to use these pics to judge your note any better, but it really requires an expert looking at the note in hand and under magnification to do that anyway. With that said, just because you can  "feel" the ink, doesn't mean it's a  legitimate "error" note. "Gummy" doesn't even sound right as the inks from the BEP should never have that feeling once they have dried. Sounds like a big red flag to me that this is bogus. As well,  you should not be rubbing your bare  hands on the note, as that is a HUGE  no-no, since oils from your hands  are transferring to the paper of the  note every time you do this and  you risk affecting long term  conservation of the note, especially if it  should turn out to be  authentic.  It's an error of a novice collector to be mishandling their collection  in such a way and points out that you may not be qualified to judge your  note authentic. For your note, I would again recommend the same course  of action as I  have the OP of this thread, get it reviewed/certified by  a TPG.                         [/QUOTE]
