There isn't a thread that deals with new Banknote acquisitions so I thought I would start one :)
I don't often buy Banknotes but I couldn't walk past these.
The 1 pound note came from Numisbid and the 5 pound note came from eBay.
Bought from Numisbid aUnc $85

Very nice notes and a good price as well.
I really like our pre-decimal notes.
Nice looking notes and they were real currency, not like the plastic notes of today.

I agree Bruce, You just have to sniff them to smell "Real Money" Far better than the recycled plastic bags we call notes today :yahoo:
Pretty cool pick up, very nice notes indeed trout, well done mate :good:
Very nice Jim.I've gone off banknotes and haven't bought any for a few years
but still have a substantial collection.Hopefully they will hold their value into
the future

Fascinating. Really lucky it was in mylar too.
Yes it make one wonder what else is tucked away safe and sound in other areas, universal have a few notes for auction and one that really surprised me is a VG95 $50 that they estimate to go for a bit over $100 and to think it was only about 4 or 5 year ago they were pulling $500 so it just goes to show how the prices can really fluctuate from time to time as give it another few years and they'll probably be over $500 but that's where Uni's crystal ball comes in..and I said ball not balls peoples :winkextra:
if they put it on display I will go and have a look
it may well deteriorate now that it is out of the storage vault
