<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 315196, member: 2098&quot;]I&#039;m surprised no one has heard of this novelty or scam trick on here before except perhaps Magman. These seals don&#039;t really fade too much(lead was used in the ink back then, toxic but lasts forever) but have been altered so that the seals and serials change color. There are sellers on ebay(and I&#039;m sure elsewhere) who are permanently altering these notes and selling them as errors. These shady sellers make good money selling these notes and are very careful to craft their auctions by keeping them private and saying something like &quot;may have been a red seal at one time&quot; or &quot;this is how I got this note&quot; even though they seem to have an endless supply of them! You&#039;ve got to be careful when buying WWII notes from North Africa because of this type of thing. I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if some have attempted and even succeeded at changing seals from blue to yellow. Best to know the legitimate serial ranges used on these before you buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
