1986 $5 Bird Series Fold Error

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

I just purchased this very cool 1986 $5 Bird Series Fold Error.

The paper fold occurred before the note was printed resulting in an extra piece attached to the note and a blank area on the back of the note.  When the fold is opened a piece of the reverse printing appears on the front along with a portion of the right serial number.

I will post better pictures once the actual note arrives and I can scan it myself.

Nice error...but I bet it is well beyond my means

I always believed in that saying "Where there is a will, there is a way" , but unfortunately all my relatives are dead and I was never in any of their wills
and by the time I knew of their passing ...it was likely that their kidneys were of no use, even in the black market.

Is this the same error note that Nova has pictured 

From what I can see of the small picture in nova7415 (Rob's) profile, the notes appear similar.  I purchased mine recently from a collector in Singapore.  Hopefully Rob will post a picture of his note and we will see if it came from the same sheet or brick of notes as this one.

                                                                                                        Per your request Arthur here is a picture of my 5.00 Error note for your viewing pleasure . It would appear that they are from 2 completely different batches . Although they both have the same signatures of Bonin/Thiessen .

And here is the other side .
