<p>[QUOTE="Numbers, post: 1318859, member: 11668"]I dunno...here might be a good place to get advice like "those are obviously fake; don't waste your money getting them certified" or "those look pretty good, but you might still want to get them certified if you plan to sell them on Ebay". See, unlike the TPGs, we don't charge for giving our opinions, so we're a better place for a relative newbie to come first. Some questions are easy enough that even we can answer them...and one such question might be "Is this worth sending to a TPG?". <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I do agree, though, that we're not going to be able to give much useful advice on the basis of these small images. If all the notes do in fact have the same serial number, then they pretty well have to be fakes. But I can't tell from the images whether they all have the same number or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>An error like this would have to affect an entire sheet, and all the notes on the sheet would have serials ending in the same five digits. But then in order to get six notes from the same sheet, you'd need to have more than 500,000 consecutive $50's to unwrap...so unless this "friend" of the OP works in a pretty big bank vault, I'm not too optimistic about these being real. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
