Title: Certificate of Authenticity
Post by: JeffH on October 19, 2013, 04:36:04 AM
"Replica of the Real Australian Paper back $1 BankNote"

"Comes with Certificate of Authenticity" And there was me thinking it wasn't a real note!

"You do not see these around at all, Unless you have the other sellers selling you fakes so grab it while you can." ???

I pass; your bid.

Oh, I dunno... we pick on the dishonest sellers, then this guy posts a comprehensive and honest description, albeit a little flowery, and we pick on him too?

I see nothing wrong with the listing. Fact is, a lot of these gold notes were made, including our $1. Its 6g, which of course is mostly the polymer substrate. But with gold around $43 a gram, the actual gold content is probably worth the current $20 bid. Not outrageous...

I have to agree, it isn't my cup of tea but there is nothing deceptive about the seller spiel.
He even says the gold holds the note together (so I guess that makes it a gold backed currency:taunt: for the real money crowd).

And what isn't? Why do you think I collect circulating errors instead of the overpriced rubbish both souvenir factories churn out?
