£10 notes with a printing mistake

smiler1_2

As part of the design in the centre of a £10 note on the side with the Queens head there is an oval. Printed around the edge of the oval are the words 'The Governor and Company of the Bank of England 2000'.

In 2000 a batch of £10 notes were printed with a printing error. Between the words 'and' and 'Company' the word 'the' was added. Therefore, the caption read 'The Governor and 'the' Company of the Bank of England 2000'

Does anyone know whether £10 notes with this printing error have any additional value above their face value? If so, who would handle such a transaction.

I look forward to your response.

Why have you got one?
If so I would suspect a forgery rather than a printing error.

It's not a mistake http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/news/2000/093.htm

To be fair, the BoE don't say it wasn't a printing error, they just say the notes are valid which, of course, they would be.

I do recall hearing this was an error, but can now find nothing about it or how rare it might have been.

Have a look on fleabay - I've seen some notes go for a lot on there - mainly if their serial number is "special" though but still... have a look

I'm sure there's a collector out there somewhere who would be interested - there always is, or eBay wouldn't exist - but finding them might be difficult. Maybe you could try asking in a specialist coins/stamps etc shop what your next steps might be.
