Not sure why this old thread is being bumped now. I suspect these may have gone since the original posts in 2013...........so don't bombard the original seller unless they tell us otherwise.

Hi, 

I am quite new here, have been a lurker for some time now and finally joined and was approved to the community. I have a question regarding authenticating a signed sheet of the Di-faced tenners! 

I have a seller that is willing to make me a private sale on the signed Banksy tenner sheet for around 500 Gbp. However, I have read that PEST is not willing to authenticate signed Di-faced tenners in order to not incriminate himself for printing false money. 

The sellers story is as follows: 


When Banksy commissioned these tenners to be printed, the process meant proofing the plates to ensure the correct alignment, this trial took 34 attempts to perfect, meaning 34 proof sheets which usually gets discarded.
Having heard of this guy (Banksy), the staff asked if it was possible to keep the proofs, it is reported that Banksy himself authorised them as a keep sake/thank you, for their secrecy and trusted co-operation, it is not clear if all 34 were signed or just a select few you are bidding for a SIGNED one.
It is also worth remembering that each one is unique, has no two proofs are the same in terms of alignment, although some are very close to perfection for the plates to be print worthy.
See photo No3 to view the imperfection, this is proven that this sheet is lithograph printing.


My question is, has anyone experience authenticating one of these, heard of anyone that has managed to do so or know of the existance and validity of the single Di-faced tenners that were signed as he owns a few of these too? 

Thank you for your time! 

[Matt]

^ this

Perfect advice

[michael1]

Thanks for the advice, that is mostly what i read about the tenners as well!

Any luck here maybe with someone that knows about the actual existance of these? Just so I know that there are a few around? 

Edit: by that I mean a signed tenner or a signed sheet

[Matt]

There are signed tenner sheets. Series of 50 i think, and they would have a COA I assume as they are official and numbered.

Never seen heard of signed tenners. Tenners will never have COA, the best you can get is reliable provenance and even that is never foolproof, hence the low prices they fetch even with solid background

For the avoidance of doubt - there is nothing to top you contacting pest control and seeking advice.

They are not adverse to queries of this nature.

Have you contacted them ?

If not do so and feel free to advise all others once they provide you with feedback.

In the meantime advise your seller of your approach and let us know of the response.

There is many seller on ebay that came with this story to sell their sheet, or that they get a handfull of tener at Nothing Hill..

I bought mine 17€, as a fake one even if the seller was selling it as an original.. He was also selling a full sheet and say exactly the same, one of the proof they get as a thank you from Banksy.. Since there is no way to authentificate it, paying 17 or 17K will put you in frint of the same question.

But yeah, happy to hear any feedback you may have from pest control.

[thugs]

the full sheets of di-faced tenners were released in two editions - a regular edition of 50, and an AP edition of 32, all of which were stamped, numbered and signed.

anything that doesn't meet these specs is fake.

thugs is correct. The only tenners issued COAs were the sheets since they are not cut into notes and hence the loophole where they are legal for PC to sell.  I have seen both signed and unsigned sheets with PC. Anything else including the single notes are a total gamble and with so many fakes out there unless you got it from POW or Laz, they are pretty much worthless.

Thanks for all the feedback, the sellers says it's part of the 32! So I need to contact the seller for the stamp and number? Do you know where it is located on the print by any chance? So if there is a stamp, number and signature, there is a larger chance it is not a counterfeit, or as real as it gets without the POW/PEST COA?

[Matt]

Your seller knows he has an signed Banksy AP, that is legit, and he is selling it for 500£...

There is an obvious conclusion waiting to be reached here...
