Looks real to me. I would say just bring it in to BCS to get graded. The only reason someone would fake a note like this is to make alot of money if you paid next to nothing for it it's real. Good for you.
Has BCS changed their policy about grading error notes? I thought they didn't accept error notes for grading.BCS will grade error notes (see attached example).
Are you refining to Charlton standard catalogue editor?No, I was
No, I wasrefiningreferring to the Sears catalogue editor. :D Wait, I better follow forum rules and clarify that this was sarcasm, just in case somebody reading this actually believes that Sears publishes numismatic catalogues. There is only one paper money catalogue, the Charlton catalogue.
When the lithographic process is done - typically both sides are printed simultaneously. That's the first red flag to me about this note.
Passing that, I would find it hard to believe that the intaglio process is then messed up in the same spot to align with the misaligned lithographic printing.
Typically when there's an error with the intaglio being out of register but the lithographic process is normal - you see the "ghost" lithography in the background.
Thank you, and if someone can give me the information i will contact the bank of Canada

pretty much ANYTHING and EVERYTHING can be counterfeited and copied.
The bigger question for the $2 note in my mind would be whether they go to this length to do a simple error or in this case a signature-serial combination that makes such a rare note.That's most likely what the intent is, and it worked, the seller got over $700!
Didn't the current owner state that the purchase price was $150 in a previous post on this thread?I do believe that the original poster said he paid $150 for the note but I'm not sure if the note he has is the one that sold on ebay...I believe that was another one, but I may be wrong...I didn't look at the serial numbers
LOL, all i can say "some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant ....Any one want to buy a $2 billDon't give up on that note so quickly. I know a numismatic auction house that will take it as a showcase lot for their next auction - Wink wink nudge nudge O:-)

Returned the seller for refund.will be interesting to see how that goes...now that you are holding a counterfeit note the RCMP should be knocking at your door soon :D
will be interesting to see how that goes...now that you are holding a counterfeit note the RCMP should be knocking at your door soon :DDid I miss something? How is the note counterfeit? Assuming it is made from two different notes that have been cut and spliced together, it's not really counterfeit as much as it is a Frankenstein note. Clearly, the note is not "as issued", but I think it is still technically redeemable for face value.
Lol i returned it the the seller on ebay for a full refund.congrats....I wonder how fast it will be posted again
congrats....I wonder how fast it will be posted again
