I saw another Michelle Bullock 2023 $50 note yesterday - still none of the other one.

I've only seen one 2023 $50 note but it wasn't a first or last prefix so I wasn't that interested.

Saw a few more Michelle Bullock $50 notes in the last few weeks - still none of the others.

Got to look at some more $50 notes again - still all Michelle Bullock for 2023.
Not many 2021s to see either.

Having trouble working out the difference between predecimal notes that are described as a good VF and an almost EF?? Is there such a grade as almost VF. Ow there's also nearly,predominately and practicaly almost VF. Phew.

Lots of pre decimal notes get called About. About uncirculated. About EF about VF. What it means is it ISN'T uncirculated, EF or VF. Just go down a grade. It is all subjective in most grading with banknotes anyway.

I agree with the about VF but isn't a good very fine the same as a about extra fine.

Yep, I'd agree with that. The difference. Unscrupulous sellers trying to make you believe that about EF is better than VF.
If it is very fine it is not extra fine. It might be a "good" very fine but it is still very fine.
Don't forget banknotes are graded extremely harshly. Any minor imperfection drops a banknote significantly.
Things that can look uncirculated can get graded quite badly.

I looked at some more new $50 notes.

On Sunday there were four 2018, two 2020, a 2021 and a Bullock 2023.

Yesterday there were a bunch but no 2021, and only Bullock 2023 notes (just one I think).

Mister T · January 01, 2026, 10:07:39 PM

Seen a fair few more and still all Bullocks.

Same with us in New Zealand, depsite the death of coins here, we have a new 2022 dated $50 note, I got a consecutive run of 10 from the ATM, killing my koin show kash last week.

Like you, shows how universal our $50 note is used for everything now. Since 2015 we have had 2 dates of $5 (the 2nd one is 2018 and I have yet to see one), just one lot of $10, 3 lots of $20s (2016, 18, 21) and now 4 lots of $50 (16,18,21,22) and 2 lots of $100 (16, 18).

My English is not good enough to really understand what you mean by the last part of this statement.

If you could post a picture of a note that would be great.
And if you like to trade one with me that would be fantastic.

Still yet to see a Bullock $50 note but have seen a few of the others.
