Banksy £10 • Di-Faced Tenner

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

I have a real one - crisp and mint - I love it - my camera has been conficated for a while by my girlfriend but, I'll post pics once I've retrieved it.

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

Anyone have a rough idea of how many of these di-faced tenners were handed out at the Ghetto? I'd imagine there can't be too many of them in mint shape kicking around. Think Laz would know?

Here's mine, minty fresh but defintly not for sale

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

Very nice, sir. Looks just like mine!

[rustyb]

anyone have one for sale, mint?

[Zippy]

I'd like a di faced tenner.

You'd lie a ....

How much should I be paying for a Difaced Tenner flyer from Santas Ghetto?

Thanks.

[njr911]

God know's, not seen one around for ages. Sure they used to go for £250 on the bay but would be interested to find out these days.

Good luck!

[kronoopus]

Thanks!

There was one on ebay about a week ago that went for 250 pounds. I've seen them go for almost 300 though.

[kronoopus]

that helps a lot, thanks!

My mate has a couple of these that he picked up from the Ghetto. I can see if he wants to sell one if you like. He is out of the country until December though if you can wait that long. Feel free to PM me.

Id love to have one, just one problem thats put me off. There was a guy on ebay recently that must have sold about 20 of them in a month. They're not the most difficult things to forge and there surely must be hundreds of fakes. Hardly any come with receipts etc. Your best bet is to buy from a good source that you know came straight from the ghetto ie. dangermouse

I was bidding on this:

180179272871

I was pretty close to dropping 240 quid when the auction was cancelled by eBay.

I'd love one of these, but due to how many of the buggers were handed out and dropped on the floor at Notting Hill, is there any way whatsoever of verifying their authenticity?

(If it's real, I do actually feel for the seller...)

[snakes]

Also mate they are dead easy to replicate, would not go near one with a barge pole..

[wazandy]

That's what I thought.

I guess anyone with access to a half-decent colour copier could bang out thousands.

I presume that's how Banksy did it in the first place.

[wazandy]

You're right.

The only reason I want one is because I planned to place the note in the dead centre of quite a large white frame..

I reckon it'd look amazing, and it'd really draw the eye to the note itself...

Shame, as you said, there's thousands of them.

Funny - in 'Wall and Peace' you can see someone walking past the Banksy ATM with literally hundreds of the notes stuck on the wall.

He could have peeled a couple off and made a quick six hundred quid...

lol.

[rustyb]

I have the official George Best and Jack Nicklaus £5 notes, am currently looking for frames, and framing ideas for these, a huge white frame for each sounds great

[snakes]

Whats their history?

Just that many have evolved from xerox machines and are therefore worth close to bugger all!

[Zippy]

snakes is right...
I'm not saying these aren't the real deal but they are easy to colour-copy at work and your pics do look a bit orangey (a problem we get with colour copies!)
Its a case of 'buyer beware', and as you are a new forum member and this is your 2nd post, not many will want to take the risk.

[snakes]

..think the real risk is the total lack of provinence with any of the difaced tenners other than the signed sheets with the POW stamps.

As the zipster says, buyer beware.

Alternatively if there are any nice peoples out there with some who can take nice high res images so we can start printing our own difaced tenners for peanuts please feel free to post..

Ja bless

[Danger Mouse]

Looks like these are now on ebay under a different name/gmail account.

I've got a couple of these from the Ghetto a few years back, so real ones, and the colour in these pics on ebay doesn't look the same as mine. They are too orange. Maybe its just the camera they've used, but they look dodgy to me. I think the buyer might be paying a lot of money (currently £270.00) for some photocopies/home made print outs unfortunatley.

[Michael Jacob]

if anyone has one to sell with good provenance, id be interested if the price is right?
thanks

[jffriedman]

If anyone has an entire sheet signed, I am interested ;D

[rhodesy2112]

how interested?
