For some reason Fiji KGV notes are almost ALWAYS torn to pieces. Here's my 10 shilling for KGV. To get that KGVI 10 pound note in a nice VF would have required me to spend 10x what I paid, and I paid good money for it, it's just so tough to find. Now, if anyone has the 5 pound note for sale...hit a brother up! Yeah, if you want these early Fiji notes in good condition, you WILL pay out the nose! Now I have a friend who has a complete KGVI short set (no 20 pound note) along with complete Jamaica, Bermuda, and India KGVI sets that he started collecting 30 years ago. His are in MARVELOUS condition. I'm only jealous that when he sells I won't be able to afford them!

Here's the notes I've picked up in the last two weeks. I've posted these on another forum so sorry if you saw them over there! Fiji P-42e: Kazakhstan P-43: And these lovelies from the Netherlands (P-89, 98a, 101, & 47 respectively)

Even thought it's common, that note is in lovely condition! Great pick up!

This is a great question - I follow IBNS and am of the mind that UNC is UNC but agree with Dave that there's qualities to a note that can make an UNC note more or less desirable compared to other UNC notes. Centering, paper quality, natural waviness, etc. What I never liked about IBNS standards were the times I've been burned buying from international sellers who label a note F with a tear and don't disclose it because by IBNS rules, a Fine note can have a tear. That drives me nuts.

Wooly - several years ago I answered your questions about these notes - my answers remain the same, although the values are different now (in your favor!). Many auctions have happened since then. 2 dalere notes: In XF-AU condition, which you have 6 notes of, they are going for $250 - $400 a piece now. It's a wide range because it's a big market with players who come and go. Your six notes are all in a close range and you even have two which are consecutive - that fact brings a premium with these remainders. Sell the consecutives together and you might get $750 - $1000. This is the most common note from the territory, especially remainders. On the other hand, you have several issued 2 dalere notes. That's a whole other story - these were, and still are, quite rare. They're not in great shape so you have to balance the condition and the values. My estimate would be $250 - $450 per note depending on grade. Your best notes that are issued would go higher, I suspect. I implore you to be mindful of the fact that my estimates are lower than those shown in the links given above because they're asking prices for notes that have NOT sold - truthfully, they're also remainders and yours are issued. Comparing apples and oranges. More like apples and rubies (your issued notes are the rubies ). 5 dalere note: Tough note. Really nice and yours is in nice condition. You're looking at probably $1,000 - $1,500. 10 dalere notes: Even tougher. All of these are usually found in remainder form but you have issued notes; and as the denomination goes up it's harder and harder to find these in issued form. My guess would be that your nicest one, of the three, would go for $1,500 +. The other two I still would say $750 - $1,500. All of my figures are in USD. If you want more info on these, historical or otherwise, don't hesitate to send me a PM. Others, feel free to chime in where maybe I'm off base.

Here's my latest handful of pickups:

I know this 10 Kroner is rare, but how rare?
rbethea replied to Joe Giaquinto's topic in Banknote Forum
You are correct in your attribution. This is the 10 kronor note in the occupation series, I believe printed in London. They are tougher to find - probably the hardest of Norwegian 20th century notes - but I wouldn't call this particular note "rare." The 50 and 100 (and the 500 and 1,000 but I've never seen them - only specimens) from this series are just downright scarce. The 10, 1, and 2 come up from time to time and the 5 is a little tougher. In your grade, I'd say for numismatic purposes due to the signature on the front and the tape on the sides you're looking $200 - $300 to the right person. That's my 2 cents. -
I would guess the second sold for more since the first has the splotches all over it. Purely a guess and, since you're asking, probably an incorrect guess. Although, the first has much better margins. There's a pretty interesting editorial in the IBNS magazine I got recently talking about the value of TPG's to the world collector community.

Stolen? Kidding, kidding. Come on! Post one!

Here's an ugly little 1896 trio. It's my sort-of "low ball" educational set:

Not my note, but for the sake of keeping this going, this is one of my favorite designs, along with the Canadian train $5 note. From 1897:

1900 - from South Africa:

It doesn't list the date but it's from 1903...

1906 from Chile:
-
1908 - also USA:

Canadian 1911 $1 Note:

Hey DreamFlight - your note is from Montenegro. I'm assuming that's why you had the ?????? marks. Look forward to your 1913 note! Now's the time!

1915:
-
1916 from Italy:
-
And some 1923s:

And 1924 (the date is in the watermark):

So we're at 1925? Let's shift to Russia for a couple, shall we?

1927: from the great country of Belgium:
