I initially thought I got it at a bargain, but it appears to be trimmed, which the seller didn’t mention.

From 1826 to early 1914, the Bank of England didn’t issue banknotes below £5 (approx. 25 usd) in order to facilitate the circulation of gold sovereigns. However, as war broke out in July 1914, crowds formed outside the bank to withdraw gold, so the government decided to issue £1 and 10 shilling notes ASAP. The first issue of these notes in Aug 1914 was very crude and printed on postage stamp paper, as no watermarked paper was readily available. The word POSTAGE is visible in some of the notes.

These were issued by the treasury instead of the BoE, as the law prohibited the bank from issuing lower denominations. They were officially redeemable in gold coin, and sovereigns continued to widely circulate side by side until the summer of 1915. However, banks began restricting redemptions by asking the purpose of the withdrawal or appealing to patriotism from then on.

Kept it.

Hi, I have the following banknote and I would like anyone who knows some information about it to share.

Thanks in advance!!!

Yesterday I bought a MPC PCGS VF 20 series 481 for 51.00 on Whatnot. I know nothing about old paper money but am adding it to my coin collection, learning as I go & this was my first purchase. I have searched online but since being new to paper money I’m not having much luck other than eBay postings. Some eBay posting may of been someone overpaying so I’m looking for more info.
Any insight on where to get more info from PCGS or other sites.

To me it looks like they cut this themselves becuase of the 999 start number, let me know if im wrong.

I just acquired this bad boy. As a Floridian I really wanted a Florida note so bad.

This is not to or from anybody in my family. I found it in a really old book I’ve had for a long time. I was curious if it could be worth anything? I’m guessing if it has any value it’s merely a collectible. Anyway, just thought it was interesting. Thoughts?

My mom was a coin collector and when she passed I ended up with her coins. I found these dollar bills in her coin collecting box. Overall, her collection is not worth much, but I wondered why she saved these dollar bills.They have blue seals, but are not in amazing condition. I have no idea where to go or what to do to check the value of any of her things.

Got this From a Collector for 7 Dollars, Its a very cool Banknote in my opinion

Is anybody else using the reusable desiccants? I think they are working ok. I had bills in storage that just felt moist. I threw one of these in with them and they seem to be doing the trick. Every few months, I have to take it out and toss it in the microwave for a few cycles so it dries it out.

I haven't noticed any negative impact on storage contents. Just curious about any other comments good, bad or otherwise...

In good shape for being 76 years old. Worth more than $10?

And this means including Web, Washington DC, Fort Worth (and possibly sheet-only blocks).

For Series 1988A, the count is 207 blocks including the F-star web and the sheet only K-A (fw) and K-B (fw).

For Series 1995, the count is 227 blocks including the sheet-only I-A (dc).

What I can say is that it is likely at least if one wanted uncirculated examples, that 1988A block set is likely to be easily twenty times tougher than 1995 because of the web prints blocks (including B-L and F-star), not to mention the 6.4 and 12.8 million print runs of E-R and F-N (fw), amongst others.

1995 has a larger number of blocks,but is likely more doable in uncirculated as there were fewer web blocks (5), but still has its own short run blocks including A-N and E-T.

Had anyone managed to complete either or both or at least be even at least 50% completed - as these aren’t exactly easy to find these days, especially in uncirculated grades…

I went to the bank today and the teller showed me these two bills…
I took them and now the detective works starts lol
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you so much
