<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 44766, member: 57463&quot;]I write the &quot;Intenet Connections&quot; column for the ANA <i>Numismatist</i> magazine.&nbsp; I have been the international editor for <i>Coin World</i>.&nbsp; I know for a fact that if you iron a note and show it to anyone who knows anything about paper money, they will take one look at it and say &quot;Ironed.&quot;&nbsp; You can fool someone on eBay with a scan, maybe.&nbsp; An ironed banknote is faded.&nbsp; The edges are no longer sharp and firm.&nbsp; The intaglio has lost its definition.&nbsp; The surface <u>is</u> flat.&nbsp; However, the <u>originality</u> of that flatness is denied by the other details.&nbsp; Someone who <u>really</u> knows paper will <u>smell</u> the note and they will smell your <u>iron</u> on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>An ironed note is an ironed note and nothing else but an ironed note.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
