Hi I have started a contest on facebook. Christmas Contest. A fragment of banknote was posted. It is from the reverse (back) of a note issued by a state that still exists and it is mentioned in the Standard Catalogue of Paper Money, in the regular issue sections. Another clue. It had 3 different dates of issue. The person who will write the name of the country, the nominal value and the date (all of the 3 posibilities are considered correct) will win. The prize are 3 UNC banknotes from Czechoslovakia: Bohemia Moravia 1 korun 1940, Czechoslovakia 1 korun 1944 and Czechoslovakia 100 korun 1989. Each day, i will offer new clues or post a larger size detail. You can ask for clues like or aditional info, and I will post new comments If no one guesses, on 25 december I will pick randomly a winner from the list of person who gave like, or made a comment, or asked for a clue. How to participate: Go on facebook and enter the page of Watashi Banknotes (me) or Contest-Watashi Banknotes: [link]https://www.facebook.com/pages/Contest-Watashi-Banknotes/601736516599052[/link] And try your luck and skill. Here are the first 2 details that were posted.

Can you tell me your opinion on this 1712 half rouble? It seams to be struck with the same pair of dies as Heritage Auction 3012, august 2010, lot 21764, described as novodel. http://coins.ha.com/itm/russia/russia-peter-i-novodel-poltina-1-2-rouble-1712-/a/3010-21764.s#57515751425

3 is a very interesting cast forgery of 4th century, and it looks to me that the prototype was a Constantinopolis type 330-335/7.

i like his ring, is bigger then the medals

It's very, very rare, specimen or circulation note. I remember a similar one as above, in a auction, that was estimated at 1500$ or something around there.

I don't think is Fiume, rather a Yugoslavian local stamp, maybe a Hungarian local stamp. I think is ......E BAHKA SCOH....

thank you very much for the info. I can see that i did not keep in touch with the russian coins, i should have noticed all the differences and especially the MW shape. I must admit my dissapointment.

Due to the rarity of this coin, the question of authenticity is always legitimate. What do you thing?

in the list are mostly common notes, even in UNC grade. You might have nice surprises for some, for example Finland 1 Markka 1963 can be a replacement, or Israel 50 Shequalim 1978/5738 (1980)might have a special mark that provees to be a test notes, but they are low chances. Most of the notes can be found on ebay on individual sale, starting from few cents to 1-2 $ or in lot of 10-25-50-100 diff. notes at different prices. I do not think that they worth, in total, above 30-50 $, and that only if they are UNC!

Macedonia 5000 dinar 1992 P# 7

A proof made by the Stati Tiskarna Prague in the late 40's/early 50's, using the original plate, of the famous 1000 korun 1934 (considered in 1937 to be "the most beautifull banknote of the world" at the Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne watermark: stars in circle (as the 1953 issues), unlike the original (head) intaglio print of the reverse of the 1000 korun 1934, the black plate. the paper is cut with miscare, 5-10 % more then the original. Another variety exist, with the signatures of Svabinsky and Wolf and a number xxx/500, probably the mintage.

I understand why the circulating issues are prohibided, but called-in notes? Here are two that are auctioned today in Germany

even for collectibles or notes that ar note legal tender (called in foreign currency, notgeld, private banks, out of use notes etc)?????!!!!

I have this strange habit not to collect the normal things but the oddities. So the printing plates fascinate me. Of course, not to produce banknotes at home but... Does anybody else has this collection theme?

My ebay auctions are ending on 9 or 10 december can be followed by this links Each Coinpeople member that will win will receive a bonus (romanian banknote), just write "coinpeople.com" on the paypal payment. just follow the link http://www.ebay.co.u...ELX%3AIT&_sop=1 or search the user "watashiro" on www.ebay.co.uk

If the serial of the note is low (i mean the letter and one-two numbers, but up to the alphabet 45 or so) and the right signature (directeur) is made like huge W's, it's a note signed by A. de Montplanet and Rene Thion de la Caume (the W guy) and it's the first combination of this signature (=Pick's French Indochina signature 6) on Tahiti notes. If my feeling is right, it's indeed a Pick11a and that corresponds to Kolsky Musyznski 509a, and makes it a very rare note in any shape. I think it's the only signature known with this title but the french Tahiti is still a terra incognita .

:bhyper: :bhyper:

here is on in F (described as XF, but far away from that). I think that you can get 1000 $ at least for this 100 roubles 1898 http://molotok.ru/100-rublej-1898-timashev-xf-i2528129310.html

Zagorski 2007 gives a value of 12000 roubles (around 400 $) for 100 roubles 1898 Timashev sign *the rarest* in XF (ochi harasho), the highest grade, as this one. From my experience, for all the 100 roubles 1898, no mather the signature, it is in top 3 of quality i ever saw, and has a value of several hundred dollars. The second note, from 1917, is common, even in UNC, and and it's about 20-30

it's your decision, for me 10 consecutives are not better then 5 and 5. My Pick catalogue shows a value of 50 $ for one note in UNC. For 10, probably not 500 $ yet 350 or even 400. But i am not specialized in Great Britains notes....

Abdul Hamid II *1876-1909* indeed, but year 12 of reign

better solve your problems with a better image ans some info about the weight and diametre of the coin...
