Excessive asking price
Instead of criticizing a seller's excessive price, why not help interested
parties by educating everyone on where they might be able to purchase an UNC set of these euro specimens for $20 to $100 as you say is possible?

It might be that these specimen notes are no more than scans of
illustrations from a brochure or magazine illustration and nothing more. How could someone in Ukraine get hold of such notes if genuine? Or are these specimen notes easy to obtain? Billy "Owen W.

I think this one does look like real specimen. This one has vertical
foil strip on the right, and all zero serial number. The others, selling for less, don't have vertical foil strips. Morris Lawing sells such a set for $9.95. He calls the set "model" rather than specimen. http://www.banknoteworld.com/dealerl...ains_page3.htm http://search.ebay.com/euro-specimen_W0QQfromZR40 There are several listed for around $20 Lots of numismatic dealers have them available as well. |

Hi, I looked at this auction that you pointed out. I do not know if they
are the original ones as the seller claims, but if they are, then they are worth about 10,000 euros!!! All true original euro specimens are made of the following notes: 5 euro series V, 10 euro series X 20 euro series Z 50 euros series X 100 euros series S 200 euro series P 500 euro series S They are all numbered on the front, as they were not intended for normal circulation. I think that the specimen for US$20 that you mentioned are not the real object of discussion!!! They were private issues made for tests by a German Bank. Thus, do not confuse the two things. After all, if you do want a real "Picasso" you should pay for as much it is worth. You cannot hope to find these notes in an Easter egg, unless you are a millionaire!!! :-) Best regards, Dr. Giovanni C.

Excessive asking price for euro specimens
Dear Giovanni,
How can one tell the difference between the "real" specimens and the private issue test ones? On 4/11/07 8:16 AM, in article , "Giovanni C.

Excessive asking price for euro specimens
Hello Owen,
I think you mean the specimen test notes of $20 value which are sold by several dealers in America. Well, those are real fakes since there's no engraving and they do not bear any characteristics of the "real" euro notes. The REAL specimens are perfect euro notes, that is, they have all the features of the real money. The only difference is the fact they have overprinted specimen over them and they are numbered on the front. The series codes are those that I listed in my previous posting and they all bear Duisenberg's signature. The valuations by single specimen note are as follows (conservative evaluations: they are worth more): 5 euro specimen V is worth about 600 euro 10 euro specimen X is worth about 650 euro 20 euro specimen Z is worth about 700 euro 50 euro specimen X is worth about 750 euro 100 euro specimen S is worth about 880 euro 200 euro specimen P is worth about 900 euro 500 euro specimen S is worth about 980 euro As a complete set, they are worth in the range of 9800-10000 euros. I hope this information helps. As I said, I do not know if that seller is auctioning the real stuff, but the price seems to be indicating that they are, however I wonder how much eBay gets out of a possible sale of that amount. I think for this kind of notes, it is more suitable a real Auction House like Spinks, Christies', or similar. I would not sell on eBay those type of notes, thus before bidding, I advise anybody interested in getting some sort of guarantee from the seller, to avoid bad surprises!!!
