Lot 4180    SESSION 12 (Thursday 7.30pm)    Error Notes

Estimate $500
Bid at live.noble.com.au

TEN DOLLARS, Johnston/Fraser (1988) AB 13 962723/4 (R.310a), error note (no final varnish coat) consecutive pair, first release. Slight ink smudges from serial numbers, uncirculated. (2)

To protect the surface of the Bi-centennial $10, Note Printing Australia applied a full coating of varnish to both sides. This final coating was applied over an initial protective coating to the signatures - there are three areas when compared to a normal note, but this one is the easiest to identify - when the notes are held to the light at an angle a shiny clear patch is clearly visible over the signatures, on most other notes where the final varnish coat has been applied this patch barely shows.
