No stealth, handwritten address with no return address. Not a big issue for domestic shipping but would be preferred for bulk orders to have some stealth and a professional look to avoid suspicion or problems with automated sorting. It arrived though - good enough for me. Took ~3 days to arrive, probably RM delay. A pricey sample at £8, but not the biggest of deals.

The note is indistinguishable from a real note. Every feature is present (Raised print, UV, magnetic strip, hologram, watermark, paper feel/thickness, microlettering, print quality). Biggest surprise is the micro lettering, which I have never seen in a counterfeit note before. Additionally, the hologram is flawless; again I've never really seen it pulled off, most just use some foil tricks. However, that said, the Chinese are gods for copying holograms, so this is likely an import.

Now, this may just be a real note, I sure would never be able to tell and I've had forensic counterfeit training. Only magnetic inks would be able to sufficiently differentiate, but I don't plan on testing that. If this turns out to be legit and the vendor sticks around after bulk orders, this is a completely unbeatable note. Definitely the best counterfeit I have ever seen and I have sampled several high quality £20 and £10s. Looks very promising, I hope he gets onto some more popular markets and things continue to run smoothly.

Here are some photos. I'm rather chuffed I managed to get some really good quality pictures of the microlettering! You can't see the microlettering with the human eye and probably require x6-10 magnification, it really is tiny. Some rather big pictures up ahead, but should really help show the flawless quality:

Watermark + metallic thread

Microlettering - very fine print

Print Quality 4

Print Quality 5

I'm not going to purchase a bulk lot until my previous order has been honoured, but if everything runs smoothly I imagine I'll gladly invest a lot more.

Feel free to ask questions, I don't think there is much to answer. Remember to look at some of the previous reviews too: First Second Third

This is fake. He made an account with the exact same name on nucleus 5 months ago and scanned everyone. I think his name is still on nucleus if you type it in the search bar so u can see all his reviews

I apologize for not fixing the other issues, glad you like it though and I will be in touch, I haven't added any UV pictures yet because I'm waiting on a new blacklight, if you have one then it would be beneficial for me if you showed that. Also, just to clarify for others, it isn't "microprint", but rather sharper printing so it appears to be, this would be distinguishable by an expert. I'm rather proud of the raised ink as it is almost perfect using a layering method, I am looking to soon invest in other printers more capable of printing the raised ink.

To save time I hand writ the sample addresses using print lettering not similar to my own handwriting, it was just quicker to get the samples out and I am sorry for that, I won't be doing so again, I feel for samples brown envelopes and no decoy is beneficial enough especially domestic, as it will not be searched and even if so I don't feel it would ever be even considered to potentially be a fake.

You know if the recipient of the counterfeit note hands that to a bank, they don't get it back, right? They lose their money. Just reconsider using it. This one was bought for scientific purposes ;)

This is all very interesting but in the back of my mind...a little too good to be true...

Now, this may just be a real note, I sure would never be able to tell and I’ve had forensic counterfeit training.

the other reviewers said they believed this, until their dumb arses decided to put them into parking/self service machines. i think they are counterfeits based on these incidents

No return address and handwritten are two big red flags

There's a new rule here, no content related to the harm of others, I would think counterfeit bills with the intent of robbing an innocent person fall into that category. Also your a shit head, burn in hell you disgusting piece of shit.
