Banksy £10 • Di-Faced Tenner, by telecine on Mar 29, 2018 7:52:07 GMT 1, Hi kjg
As most have said before .
Best is match with a torn tenner in a Pest Control COA. They are virtually impossible to copy exactly so it’s easy to spot a fake immediately.
If you post up a nice sharp close up of a section of the note, the litho dots will give it away.
There are many posts on the board about this .
And COA is only from laz.

I will try and contact Lionel Gallery today. Maybe they can help me out and let me compare my two Tenners to a real one on a COA.

Friend of mine received a letter and a signed Di Face Tenner from Banksy back in the day.

Ultimately these are only a piece of printed memorabilia, and somewhere, probably under Banksy's bed, there's a box with thousands of them!

Seems a little off to me to be immediately asking the forum how you can authenticate them to flip one?
Yes, indeed. With the promise to donate part of the possible revenue to a good cause. One of the Tenners always will be mine.

Somewhere there is a warehouse with a shelf with three or four boxes full of them :-)

Unlike the boxsets, there will be no talking down the prices of these. On Ebay you can a shit load for £15 that is as good as it is going to get.
The closest you are going to get to having one authenticated is if you were lucky enough to get one from POW/PC diret or one from Laz with provenance.

Just because the recent tenners are no longer in circulation, it is still illegal to reproduce or deface backnotes.

Similar here ... signed unnumbered HMV that I bought from Carl who ran Amilas , many years ago.
Dora confirmed it was a good’un but couldn’t give me a number at the time . Still a bargain for a beautiful thing .

Doubt it worried him or any other artist in the first place. I was merely commenting on your statement about prosecution. It really seems like it did worry him based on the article Bren posted yesterday, and for good reason.
"Banksy, known for his satirical and subversive street art, created a large quantity of the Princess Diana notes in August 2004, a roll of which was reportedly thrown into the crowd at the Notting Hill Carnival and at the Reading Festival that year. Some of these bills were used by festival-goers as actual currency, prompting Banksy to cease distribution.
In Banksy’s film Exit Through the Gift Shop, Banksy speaks to the fact that after the incidents at the festivals, he realized he had forged around £100,000,000, nearly all of which remain in his possession."
The difference between this scenario and other artists who have defaced banknotes is that Banksy's notes were actually mistaken for real currency and used (big problem), and the sheer amount of notes that he printed.

It did worry him initially, that was clear, they were stacked in the studio for 5 years.

Banksy £10 • Di-Faced Tenner, by Lunch Special on Apr 3, 2018 19:56:14 GMT 1, Ok, thanks for all your answers so far. I contacted Laz who immediately answered. But he is referring to POW. And as we all know POW doesn't hand out COA's for Di Faced Tenners. So I am kind of stuck here. If there is any gallery out there who wants to help me out by comparing my Tenner(s) to one on a Banksy COA, and wants to write that down on a sheet of paper, please let me know. Did you let the member you bought it from that you planned on selling it in the future or have you offered it back to him as of yet? Would seem only right. Sorry not sorry I only read up to this post in the thread

So not very close, I think.
Buy a Banksy, you will get a COA with half of a real tenner.

They're fantastic though. Enjoy yours. I have a couple of real ones and a couple of fakes, and they're all fantastic.
