B Series errors
Some B Series errors can be quite spectacular.
Here's one that I had not spotted before — Partial offset transfer on a £10 note.
Ireland 10 Pounds 1983 error note.

This one is my favourite of B series errors.
Yeats 20 Pound error note
Normal Yeats 20 Pound note for comparison.

Re: B Series errors
A similar error, this time with Queen Medb absent from her throne on the B Series £1 note.
I've seen a few of these over the years.

Re: B Series errors
Here's an error with extra paper, caused by the banknote being folded when it was being cut.

Re: B Series errors
Here is another £20 error with print missing which is a bit different from the one above. It fetched around $250 in the Whyte sale in Dublin today.

Re: B Series errors
Are any 5 pound or 50 pound errors known in the collecting community?
I have never seen one.

Re: B Series errors
I have seen a £5 B Series error note with extra print, similar to the £10 note above. Haven't seen a £50.
EDIT: I knew I had a pic of the fiver somewhere, took a little while to find it:
Ireland 5 pounds 1981 print error.
This note has most of the face print on the reverse also.
The face of the note is normal.

Re: B Series errors
Another interesting print error on this tenner, albeit less dramatic than a lot of the others here
Looks like a thin vertical fold occurred in the paper prior to printing:

Re: B Series errors
That's a printed fold error - nice!
Do you have a scan of the face and reverse of the entire note?
I'd add it to the main web site.
