I have bought a collection of de la Rue Promotional Notes including two sets of the ‘Energy Innovation’ booklets which have the four renewable energy notes inside in sealed units (like PMG grading). These are utterly brilliant. The recent Bonham auction showed the huge interest in these Promotional notes, so keep your eyes open for… Read more »

Two weeks ago I was contacted by someone who had a British Linen Company banknote from 1885. It was in a frame and had been in the family’s possession for many years. The note looked faded and of no great value but after some research it is found to be worth around £1500-£1800. I suggested… Read more »

I have listed another banknote error, a B332 £5 Page note. This is a very rare banknote indeed and a superb error to add to the British collection. I have other errors listed, so have a browse through waht is on offer…check ‘Banknote Variations’ on the Home Page.

Next week I shall take delivery of a T12.1 and T12.2, both in GF grade. There will be several First Runs  Runs, Fforde, Page and Somerset. The other note of interest will be a Page £5 with no serial numbers at all….a very rare note indeed. Keep the eyes peeled.

I have a number of Scottish notes coming through for sale over the coming days. Keep your eye on ‘Recently Added’ from the Home Page. Some rare ones and others at bargain prices.

I have just taken possession of six Bank of Scotland £100 notes. They are all GVF grades and decent notes for the collection. The recent auctions indicate these Scottish banknotes are very strong in demand and they are on offer at a very good price. Have a peek.

Banknotes have an appeal for buyers, sellers and dealers. Banknote sellers are key to this interest and for me, the great benefit of the website is the number of people asking me to value collections, single English and/or Scottish banknotes. Banknotes are so interesting and I hope you will feel free to contact me to… Read more »

Perhaps this is a good time to take advantage of this and buy these notes as they are sure to come back in demand. The… Read more »
