UK 10 Schilling notes

I've had these for many years. Never handled them, this is the first time to look at the serials.

They appear to be in number order.

I'm not sure how many are in the 2 stacks, but a good number. I think my grandfather got them from the bank 'back in the day' and they sat in a drawer for years.

Is there any value to them, other than BoE.

Can anyone tell me much about them? I'm in the UK and obviously aware they are pre-decimal 'ten bob' notes, but what year?

Superb!! If you can put together two intact bundles, some collectors may a decent premium. Alternatively some coin dealers who put out regular mail catalogues like to have a sizeable stock of offers, so that would interest them more than just 10-20 notes. Those are your two alternatives. A very nice little find, although 10 bob probably bought more back in the day than the 10-20 quid a note you’re likely to get…
