These are 1993 Second provisional Novcani Bon Issue

500 Dinara and 1000 Dinara

Both hand stamped FOJNICA

Both are uncirculated book value is $65 and $70 for XF

How much are they worth for CU? not listed in catalog

If I recall correctly didn't many counterfeits of these get into circulation? Ask around, and make sure they are legit.

counterfit? I'm going to a coin expo expo tomorrow and sunday. I'll see if they are real.

It's better to be safe than sorry, but in case I am wrong ask around in some of the other areas of this site for someone more knowledgable with these notes. It's not worth spending money to get them authenticated if you can just ask around here for free afterall, it's one reason we are all here.

Nice note! I like the new style that Bhutan has issued. I still need to get more of them, though! - and - Welcome to Coinpeople!

Here's a link to some Bosnian fakes... Link

Hope it helps!

If not, try PM-ing Slavicscott and he should be able to help you out. This was his main area of collection, though he hasn't been around in a while on this board.

Hello Scottishmoney,

If you would like to do a post on Philippine banknote beauties, let me know and I'll provide hi-res scans of the notes you need. I can think of 4 notes off the top of my head that would qualify. Let me know!

This came with a 250 note grab bag. An 1 Austral runner

Latest addition is a New Zealand $2 555555. Issued in 1967-1968. It is a short issue. Signed by Chief Cashier Robert Neal Fleming. Circulaton Mintage is 30 million. It is a scarce solid with only 30 pieces of solid 555555 if all the pieces exist and savage from the circulation. This note is a GEM.

Nice note from Kiwiland See323

Here are the PMG graded notes:

p11b 1912 100 Peso BPI Ch. Fine 15


p19 1928 50 Peso BPI Ch. Fine 15


p34e 1908 20 Peso Silver Certificate Very Fine 20


p60b 1918 1 Peso Treasury Certificate Ch. Extremely Fine 45


p100a 1944 100 Peso Treasury Certificate Ch. Extremely Fine 45


Well, I am fairly pleased with the grades, however, as stated before, I think the 1918 could have graded AU, but I knew that the faint middle fold would hold it back. PMG really does a great job of accurately grading notes! I have decided to sell all of these except the p11b 1912 100P. I will be listing them on eBay tonight. Thank you for looking, and enjoy your day!

I have to agree with you Chief, I think the 1918 was undergraded, from what I can tell from the photos, it should have been at least a low Au. Otherwise, not a bad outcome.

I am curious however, is having the notes graded cost effective for you? As I understand it, it is somewhat costly to get notes graded by them. I can't see how even a $50 note would be worth getting graded. I only have one note I would ever have graded, and I already know it's an Unc, just not what "grade" of Unc, and because it's a $300+ note, I can see how having that distinction made would be benefitual if I ever decide to sell it, but that's about it. I am not downplaying having notes graded, I just can't see how the cost outweighs the final selling price.

Vfox,

The main reason I have my better notes graded, is because I am mainly a collector. To me, I would much rather have a graded note than a raw, ungraded note. The cost is inconsequential really, because if I decide to sell (which happens alot since I attend many auctions/shows), then it is third-party graded, and fetches a much more handsome price than a raw note. I constantly stay on the lookout for the better note. If I find one that is better than one I have in my collection, I buy it, and send it to PMG. It's all a matter of preference really. At the end of the day, a nice note is a nice note, and a rag is a rag, even if it says PMG 4. Take care!

Latest Acquisition : Phlippines 1949 Series 10 Peso Solid 555555 in uncirculated condition.

Just received this rare beauty for my collection. Really overjoyed to have it in my collection.

Canada 2002 $10 BEK 5555555 ( Knight-Dodge ). This is a changeover prefix. It is the last solid 555555 with Knight-Dodge signatures. In this BEK prefix series, notes numbered 0000000 to 8599999 have the signatures of Knight and Dodge; notes numbered 8600000 to 9999999 have the signatures of Jenkins and Dodge. At the same time, number 8600000, the printing date changed from 2002 to 2003, so BEK is actually a changeover prefix for two reasons. It is rare Canadian solid.

Congrats on the rare solid, See. At first I thought I saw a bride with a long puffy train on the note.

One question: Is there any difference between the two pics? I cant discern any if there is supposed to be one.

thedeadpoint - Thanks for spotting the mistake. Sorry for testing your eye sight. I was just too happy that I forgotten to make changes to the second picture url link when I did a cut and paste from banknotebank. Anyway, it is a happy mistake.

Very nice solids See323

Thanks. It costs me a bomb but it is a worthy piece for both collection and investment.

This is cool:



Not often can you get a then living person signed note. I don't believe QEII does much signing.

He is a generous person. He signed quite a fair bit of notes when he was alive. He was always doing charity work throughout his lifetime. A remarkable person. If the prices of these genuine signed Hillary NZ $5 increases, there will be imitation ones appearing everywhere. Let's hope it does not happen. I should be keeping this note for a very long time since Hillary is the first person to conqueror Mt. Everest.

Added this Taiwan 2004 1000 NT Solid 555555

Just acquire a few pieces of these early uncirculated Japanese 1916 One Yen notes.

Something interest me about these notes is on the reverse. The american have the silver dollar. The Japanese have their silver yen. The note promised to pay one yen in silver. It also has a picture of a Japanese one yen silver coin to make sure people understand it's value in paper. I have two of the one yen silver jap coins. Here are the pictures for your viewing.

I've always thought these banknotes interesting, and when I came across these two I thought I should get them. These were overprinted to disgrace the Shah Pahvlavi after the revolution ended in 1979 and were used until new notes were printed in 1981. There are eight slight variations of the overprint on the portrait, and four variations of the watermark overprint. I have placed them side by side for easy comparison. The left note is 50 Rials Pick #101c. The right note is 50 Rials Pick #123b, which is directly overprinted on Pick #101.

I love the Yen, See.

These notes are common in nicer grade, at least in the USA, but not so much when they are as nice as that one. I like the note, particularly the English language reverse, which for the time seems a bit unusual for a country like Japan. The design is suggestive of then contemporary Bank of England notes. But some of their earlier paper money was strongly influenced by designs from the USA, some of it looks so much like USA silver certificates in the 1870's it is amazing. I was looking for one of these notes awhile back for my collection before I got sidetracked into the attractive feminine vignettes pursuit.

I believe these notes were printed and used right up to WWII if I am not mistaken, but they did come out with another design ca. 1938 which doesn't have quite the detail and or English text on it. I theorize that quite a few of these came over to the USA after the war as souvenirs or booty.

The variations with the overprints go from quite crude, probably done quickly and maybe not officially, to these ones with the arabesque on them.

Thanks for the input. These early Jap notes is my third encounter and acquisition since my first is the Jap one yen silver coins 20+ years ago and of course my Jap solid 555555 banknotes. Yes, they are relatively inexpensive and surprisinglying brand new and crispy condition. I just love the sound when you hold of them in your hands. At that time, the Japanese have a lot of trading with the West which can explain why the English words are printed on the reverse of the notes.

Today, just added another interesting large denomination Pakistan RS 500 Solid T 5555555. Not sure when is the date of issue but it should be a brand new issue.

Interestingly it says 2007 in western style numerals for the date, on the right side of the note. No hejira year for Pakistan apparently.

Another interesting fact: Apparently the sound for "p" is part o the official urdu script.

just bought 6 new banknotes.
the first, a romanian 1000 lei 1936. preety scarce, with value up( not down like the 1941 emission) and wmk king carol II in laurel wreath.

a 1941 1000 lei with text down and wmk trajan( roman empereur, conquer of dacia, a very popular watermark during 1877-1945)

1 rouble 1919

and 1 rouble 1895 Pleshke and I. Metz. my new little queen. inhumanly rare.
ps also some 25 rouble 1909 Konshkinvf, 40 r 1917, and 1938 5 r. unc

Cool new set of notes! Nice that you were able to get those scarcer notes, too!

Most recent purchase (first ever) banknote wise where some "Euro-Pound" notes.

RBS pound note from 1992, with the EC (now EU) stars on it. Little did they know then the Euro would become a reality.

Guy was selling two "almost sequential" uncirculated and in a separate auction a circulated example. Since nobody bid on the circulated one he was kind enough to give it to me!



Not particularly amazing but a nice little anomaly. I'm also quite pro-EU.

I like those new Scottish notes. My son may be going to the University Of Edinburgh next year, if he does I'll have a "direct connection" to Scottish coins and notes.
And he'll probably have the time of his life!

Here's a lucky number from the United States:

Today I got a series 2003A deuce in a survey, issued by the FRB of Cleveland, not bad for free!

Make sure he does! It is an awesome city, especially for those wanting to exprence European / Scottish culture. Though I will be obligated to call him a "Ya" Bloomin posh Edinbugh Uni students!

My latest Indonesia 1992 500 and 1000 Rupiah solid 555555. The 500 Rupiah is a rarity as it has the fourth prefix AAD.

Nice notes See323

Wow, those are nice notes!

Added a new scarcer prefix - Italy 5000 Lires Double Same Letter Solid DD 555555 into my Italian 555555 Collection. This is a duplicate piece of 5000 lires 555555 which I already owned ( AD 555555 ). It is a much better piece with DD prefix. I love the design of old Italian currency.

Wow, See323 - Your on a roll with these great notes! Keep on posting!
