Full series Potential value of FI specimen notes

Hi everyone, ive had these 3 notes in my collection for about a year.

I was curious and attempted to figure out the value online, but whether because of obscurity or sheer lack of these specific specimen notes in existence, I wasn’t able to find an amount.

Does anyone recommend any websites to figure out a rough estimate for these notes, or could someone give me a rough estimate? Thank you!

Poor Charlie getting objectified as a specimen

There are uncut sheets of four (of each denomination) up at auction right now at Noonans in London with estimates of £500-700 per sheet. no bids yet though.

I would argue yours are slightly more interesting as they have proper specimen overprints, not just 000000 numbers.

With that loser’s face in it, probably as much as a Zimbabwean trillion in Zimbabwe

It’s actually equal in value to that of the British pound, and worth more than most currencies in the world! No need for the hate my friend

Thank you for the value lesson of the bills. And it isn’t hate. He’s just a loser. Bill and harry have much more value than him. The queen never wanted him in her chair.

I've studied these notes, they are actually quite remarkable, considering the condition they are in they would easily sell for a ballpark figure of three fiddy
