<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 557591, member: 12789&quot;]No doubt that is done with a #2 pencil, which is about 95% of all pencils.&nbsp; What I would suggest doing is getting a newer FRN and doing the same mark on it, then trying a gum based eraser, with NO abrasives or sand in it like most erasers have in them.&nbsp; I know that these gum based erasers exist because I trained as a draftsman in school, and we used them to remove pencil marks with out abrading the paper underneath them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The whole point is - try it out on something else first and see what the result is.&nbsp; If you are not satisfied with the results, then you have not damaged the good note.</p><p><br /></p><p>When doing the gum based eraser, the best way to perform it is in one direction towards the corner of the note to minimize or eliminate the possibility of spreading the graphite from the pencil.</p><p><br /></p><p>That all said, if you do not feel any bit of comfort trying this, don&#039;t.&nbsp; There is nothing hurt by leaving it just as it is.&nbsp; I have some older Scottish notes with biro or pencil marks on them and I just leave them alone, figuring it gives them character.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
