Banksy 'Di-Faced' Tenner £10 note

[billholiday]

Hi I signed up to this forum just now... I've been a fan of banksy for years, i've seen a lot of his work in real life. Just this summer ive been to Israel to see the walls he's done... amazing!

I want to buy a Di-Faced Tenner £10 note, to frame and put in my office. But!!!! I don't trust these ebay sellers for a cent.

I see several for $500 - $600 dollars and several for $50 and less.

Logically the expensive ones are real.. then on the other hand, it could be fakes as well that just try to make good money of it..

Does anyone know how to spot a real one? Or does anyone know a legit seller or has one for sale?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. I'd suggest you do a search as this is a topic that has been discussed a thousand times. Long and short is whether they sell for £10 or £500 work on the basis they are fake as there is no real way of telling

[billholiday]

oh sorry i found only 1 that was not answering my question, i try again

[billholiday]

actually pretty lame now i read lots of those threads on here... basically everything is fake? also the ones that go for 700 bucks!? Man thats just wack.. If anyone has a real one for sale hit me up.

Why not save a little longer buy a Banksy screenprint with POW coa , you'll get the screenprint plus part of an original Di-faced tenner on the coa. Double whammy.

Patience bill, that's how I got 2 real ones. off a trusted forum member aswell. £300 .being framed as we speak.
No they are not for sale.
Good luck.

I've just had my first coa's come through and was chuffed to see these attached. Its a really nice touch from POW.

[billholiday]

why would you want a part of a tenner?

Same as you, I was going to buy off eBay , asked the forum what do you think, & low & behold I got a pm saying I will sell you my 100% legit ones for the same money.
BINGO.

[billholiday]

i dont know, the fake ones on ebay are more obvious, with DI in blue.. but why have a fake if you can have a real one..

anyway i love this notes so much

[fingerz]

just trying to draw your attention to how hard thay are to spot , this is a fake , it is really yellow in the flesh but on the pic it looks okay

[billholiday]

it does look okay. man this sh*t is annoying

These are mine

[rolexbanks]

Coach. Now you've got me thinking mine shouldn't be on the wall ' yours look great , mine are with gary as we speak ready to be framed or perspexed . Ahh what to do!!!!

It wasn't that long ago that a forum member was passing fakes off as original notes onto other forum members. Buying from here doesn't mean they're genuine. Just be careful.

[otomi]

the fold are also printed on the real ones so that is not really a sign for a fake one

[billholiday]

great video, i guess the 'realness' of these notes will always be a mystery?
