What you’ll get (1 banknote, deep dive):- Full attribution (country/issuer, denomination, series/type, date/period, signature combination, printer when determinable)
- Variety checks + “diagnostics to confirm” (the exact visual markers that separate look-alikes—e.g., signature style, serial prefix patterns, watermark type, security thread position, overprints, design differences—so you can clearly see why it’s that specific note)
- Catalog references (when applicable) + research notes
- Comparable sales research (recent comps + market context) + practical selling tips
- Counterfeit risk notes + recommended next-step checks/photos if needed
What to upload (required):
- Front + back (high resolution, straight-on)
- Clear close-up of serial number(s)
- Watermark photo (backlit)
- Size (mm) or photo next to a ruler
Strongly recommended:
- Close-ups of signatures, overprints, seals, holograms, security thread, microprint areas
- Notes about repairs (tape, pinholes, pressing, stains, trimming)
Turnaround:Typically 2-4 days (Mon–Fri) due to research depth.
Important notes:
- Best for rarer notes, varieties, signature combinations, replacement/star notes, error notes, or “I need to be sure” cases.
- Photo-based analysis cannot replace professional third-party authentication or grading. I’ll tell you clearly when certification is worth considering.
- If the banknote cannot be identified after requested follow-ups, full refund.
After checkout:You’ll be redirected to the upload page.
