1986 $2 Major Cutting Error

PM to let me know if you have an idea what this could be worth.



[edit]Removed offer for sale of fabricated error. --BWJM[/edit]

$5 if C.Unc.

EBA was a prefix that was used for uncut sheets, so this is very likely to be a hand-done cutting "error".

Give me $200 and I'll give you one just like that but for the $1s... BFD prefix.

Yes, BWJM is correct.  These sometimes go for about $5 to $10, and if you're lucky, perhaps $20 on eBay.  Hopfeully, you didn't pay too much for this human, hand-cut error from a sheet of $2 notes. 

The Bird Series $2 sheets of notes (8 notes x 5 notes or 10 notes x 4 notes) were issued and made to the public by the Bank of Canada in 1996.  They retail for about $100 to $175 at some coin shops, or about $300 on The Shopping Channel. 

Haha it's still a fun piece to show your friends.

UNC is worth $6 and I knew it when I bought it... am I a sucker? It's not easy to perfectly "hand cut" such a large sheet of bills while assuring it remains in 'UNC' condition.

I paid $20 for it. I figured I'll show it around a bit and sell it back for $20 whenever I get tired of it.

I have the $1 too.

major fraud! don't buy these ridiculous notes. Who is creating these anyway? Shame shame shame!!!!

PM to let me know if you have an idea what this could be worth.

Feel free to make an offer 

If you know what it's worth....and know its not a real error ...why ask?

It's nothing less than fraud, Even though YOU know its a rube, I'm sure some unsuspecting soul could be suckered into paying thick for it!
A really bad joke, But that's just my opinion!!!!

I agree with you on this one....A bad way for someone to get into the hobby and hate it before they really get started...especially if the other note they just bought was the 1967 Centennial Gold Flag note.

Another example of the same sort of thing as gold flag centennial notes, polar bear $2 notes, etc. It pains me to think about how many people get suckered into this crap.

Ah Man....and I just started selling these rarities like hotcakes 

no matter how much crap is out there you carefully have to weed out the fakes from the TRUE Genuine collectable items....

Oh man 11 more to go  

I think someone should have an auction with something scribbled on it and have a pen in the pic or a cutting error with scissors in the picture.

I hope that the Bank of Canada is able to stop this type defacing of currency.

Is counterstamping of coins not illigal ? Like the JOP $1 coins?

In this case washable make up was used...so I was told

The JOP example I feel is a unique  exception for collectors. It has become a collectors item and commands a substantial premium. Except for the centennial gold flags    , defaced paper money will never be worth more than face.
