Consecutive error fives.

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

Here is an interesting printig error on consecutive notes HNB 8697571 and 2. Looks like a blob of hardened ink stopped the paper from touching the plate. I have seen a few of these notes sold on ebay. I wonder how many consecutive are in collectors hands. I just rechecked both notes for the Bonin-Thiessen but no such luck.  

There was one particular seller on eBay selling these notes a while back.  They went slow at the beginning (around $20 to $25 Canadian, at first) and then later, kind of increased in value.  I am guessing that about 40% of the active members here may have one in their collection (all in the same range of course!).  I noticed on one recent occasion that one member even paid about $45 to $50 for one of them!  

 I have HNB 8697575  with the same error.
