Di faced tenners - weight?, by Deleted on Feb 15, 2009 18:58:30 GMT 1, Hi all!
I'm after a bit of help from one of you knowledgeable bods...
... I understand the only way to really tell if a Di-faced tenner is real is by weight.
Is there any chance someone could PM me the correct weight?
As always, many thanks for all the help the forum gives.
Adam.

Di faced tenners - weight?, by Deleted on Feb 16, 2009 18:46:53 GMT 1, I was originally hoping to check the weight before buying two. I've gone for it anyway, the seller appearing reputable and they should arrive Wednesday.
Seeing as no-one seems to know, I'll weigh mine and then shall we all agree that whatever mine weigh is the new 'BDT Standard' weight (that's the 'Banksy Di-faced Tenner Standard' weight) that all shall be measured against? We all agree mine are real and I get to ejudicate on all weight issues, sort of a mass-related pest control. Obviously, for EU reasons, we will only work in metric. :-)
In all seriousness, I've had an offer to confirm the weight via PM so I hope mine match out

get better scales ;D
i asked someone in the bank how they weighed the notes when counting, i.e. what dose a ยฃ10 note weigh, she said it did not give a weight just an amount, not sure if that's true, but get some jewellers scales or just ask your local drug dealer ;D or jeweller to weigh the note for you.

Di faced tenners - weight?, by Deleted on Feb 23, 2009 8:30:22 GMT 1, The two I bought were from the guy mentioned above. I haven't had opportunity to get them on a sensitive enough set of scales, but I have an offer from a forum member to validate the weight once I have it. I'll let you know how I get on.

Assuming the forum member validating the weight isn't the same guy that sold them to you. surely weighing them is a rediculous way to authenticate them as they would of been cut from a larger sheet of paper and unlikely to all be exactly the same? plus weights would likely change over time depending on storage/environment etc. Or does it not need to be that accurate, just "roughly X amount"?

Di faced tenners - weight?, by Deleted on Feb 23, 2009 20:08:14 GMT 1, Thanks danmuppet. The advice is appreciated. I'd read the point on weight somewhere else on the forum prior to buying, but maybe it is a red herring. That said, when I get chance, I will weigh them and I'll post it up for comparison - or even just a bit of fun.
It does pose a question though... Assuming Pestcontrol would not go the trouble of authenticating, how do you know if what you've got is real or not? (That questions seems more profound the more I read it. :-) )
Oh well.

Di faced tenners - weight?, by Daniel Silk on Feb 24, 2009 0:31:30 GMT 1, I cant see that the weight is gonna help in telling if they are real or not  The difference is gonna be so fine 
Even having two in ya hands to compare would surely not even be a 100% sure fire way of guaranteeing authenticity.
I would not touch them unless they come from a good gallery or they are at a cheap enough price that it dunt matter too much if they turn out to be fakes.

Di faced tenners - weight?, by Heavyconsumer on Feb 24, 2009 2:41:19 GMT 1, Just an idea, but much more accurate than these Tanitas/jewelery scales are bench scales used in laboratories. Maybe if you have a kid in a school with good facilities or your local pharmacist would be a better bet, seeing as those scales are accurate to the nearest 1000th of a gram, rather than 10th. If you really want to get an accurate measurement, bench scales are the weigh to go!

Di faced tenners - weight?, by Poppy Sunshine on Feb 24, 2009 9:10:14 GMT 1, Can anyone tell me what a signed black and white trolleys should weigh please?
It looks ok but just doesn't feel right.
I think I should easily be able to tell whether it was signed with the correct pencil or not by the weight.

Di faced tenners - weight?, by mash on Feb 24, 2009 23:29:43 GMT 1, I bought 5 of these last night on this auction (280316103953), tenner each. They look alright but I expect might well be fake at that price- tbh just bought them because they seemed too cheap to pass on.
What does anyone think? Did anyone get the right weight?
