I bought two notes from Debden Sets that have been broken up. They were ‘partnered’ with gold crowns but the hike in the price of precious metal led the set to be dismantled. Debden Sets remain fantastic items with dedicated and limited edition serial numbers (all UNC) and they are for me, wonderful banknotes as… Read more »

There are lots of sellers of British banknotes on Ebay. There is so much ‘junk’ and ridiculous prices eg £700 asking price for a £5 polymer AK47 prefix! A good Banknote Dealer will offer prices that are fair, not silly, with sound grading of notes which is the key factor for most collectors. Poor grading… Read more »

I have just listed a group of 5 Beale notes – good spread of grades and a good mixture of notes with a value of around £70 – good offer.

A few days ago I bought some £100 Bank of Scotland notes. They had been in a safe for over 15 years and just came to light almost by chance. I shall be listing a few of them in the near future, so keep your eyes open…look at the ‘Recently Added’ on the Home Page.

This is limbo dancer of banknotes: the lowest number in a series: 000001. I have listed this B320 Page note W02H 000001 and it sure is a belter of a note and one to really stand out in any collection…Rare! Rare ! Rare!

During the coming days I shall be taking delivery of two small collections of Scottish notes. One has three specimen notes in UNC grade and the other is a collection of Nicklaus and Diamond Jubilee notes in the original presentation boxes. There are now very rare and hard to find. Few survive as most were… Read more »

You can sell your banknotes to a private seller like myself where there is no commission and no hidden charges. I specialise… Read more »

Some Fforde banknotes are worth but a couple of £s each. There are others that are very rare and collectible. The B302, B307, B307 notes, for example, have rare First and Last Runs….have a browse through these and other notes for sale…Fforde notes are some of the best around.

Last night at table we discussed where the above had ‘disappeared’ to? No sign, sound, sight of Farage of Mogg anywhere. They have disappeared into the vapours, the miasma! Some banknotes are also hard to find, such as Branch White notes. I have some lovely ones that have not disappeared: B209a, B215f, B228e, B241c. Have… Read more »

The bank of England has several You Tube videos on the printing process and security features of the new polymer notes. They are worth a look. There are so many ‘Error’ notes being sold on websites and the reality is that they are forgeries: missing letters, words and holograms, are ‘doctored’. AVOID them and don’t… Read more »
