Good evening guys. I have this 100 lei banknote from 1945, and as shown in the attached pictures, the two zeros on the right, as well as the letters "R," "LETE," and "MITE" in the upper and lower right corners, appear thickened. Does this add value to the banknote? Is it considered an error?Does it make it more valuable? And if so, how much could it be worth? Thank you.
At least the thirty odd people looking at this thread don't. Maybe the paper has other properties starting at that point leading to more bleeding of the ink or the stamp/plate was not inked well and only the left part had an even distribution while the most-right part was oversaturated?
I have searched the entire internet for at least one banknote identical to mine, but I haven’t been able to find any, so I don’t have a reference point. That’s why I’m turning to you—you’re much more informed than I am.
I understand. So, in order to sell them, I need to find the category of collectors who prefer this type of banknotes with 'errors'. I take it that if I sell it to a 'regular' collector, the price would be lower compared to a banknote without these features, but if I sell it to a collector who specifically looks for such patterns, the price could be higher than that of a standard version
