Title: Bird Series $5 Error(s)
Post by: Just Bank Notes on August 12, 2021, 04:28:25 pm

Hello CPMF,

Here is a fun $5 error note.

How would you describe it.  Is it an E1, E5, E13, or E24?  Maybe a little bit of a few or something else!

Cheers,

It looks to be BC-56c-i-E-24-ii (large part attached), a real beauty & worthy of being certified. Great error "Just Bank Notes!" Congrats!

Beautiful. Pre-print butterfly fold-over errors are much scarcer than their post-print cousins.  I've only come across one before but not nearly as dramatic as yours.

Another Bird Series $5 example with the fold-over error on the reverse of the note.

That's a nice note too "canada-banknotes".

Any others out there CPMF?

Interesting.  It looks like your fold occurred even earlier in the printing process, before any printing including tints, colour bars, etc.  I'm not sure if that makes it even rarer as it was missed throughout multiple phases of printing.

This is the one I've got, no extra part but a nice fold over printing error featured in the 2021 Charlton Catalogue
