<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mountain Man, post: 8437958, member: 94733&quot;]I think along the line, some posters got confused about which note we were talking about. All of my posts are about the OPs note, not [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER] note.</p><p>I did an experiment with trying to remove the security strip from the $5 note I have, and after folding the area back and forth, to loosen the strip, I soaked it over night in water and sure enough, with tweezers, I am able to remove the strip. The folds I made in the strip could easily be confused as a crease on the back of the note, as might be on a true gutter fold.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1495735[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1495736[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I wasn&#039;t as careful as I would be if I were trying to &quot;counterfeit&quot; a gutter fold, but you can see that it can indeed be done.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1495737[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>So, my conclusion is that the OPs note is damaged by someone removing the security strip, and not a gutter fold or obstruction print.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
