So far, I only sold a Scottish note to Pam West which I kept for 20+ years. I have not bought any notes from her yet.

Thanks Dave and Art. There is another set of first prefix Solid 111111 ( the only full set with additional of 100 pounds solid 111111, is the only 100 pounds solid number in the whole of new 2009 series ) already flied (sold) off. This set 111111 is scarce as it is the only complete set of solid.

Scotland Clydesdale Bank 2009 First Prefix Solids Orgy !

There is a light centrefold but the embossing is beautiful. With embossing, it is definitely non-pressed.

King George V 1935 $1 almost solid 222229 with embossing and in AU condition.

I like the house on the 10 cordobas. Look like a nice painting and also the bird on the 200 cordobas.

Nice old HK note from Lyn Knight.

Australia and Clydesdale Bank First Prefixes Solid 555555 $50 Macfarlane / Henry AA 06 First Prefix Solid Number 555 555 (R520dF) Robert the Bruce (11 July 1274 – 7 June 1329) Robert the Bruce was King of the Scots (1274-1329) and led Scotland in the Wars of Scottish Independence, which culminated in The Treaty of Edinburgh, 1328. This recognised Scotland as an independent kingdom, and Bruce as its king. According to legend, while he was on the run during the winter of 1305-06, Bruce hid himself in a cave on Rathlin Island off the north coast of Ireland, where he observed a spider spinning a web. Each time the spider failed, it started over again until it succeeded. Inspired by this, Bruce returned to inflict a series of defeats on the occupying English force, thus winning him more supporters and eventual victory. Elsie Maud Inglis (16 August 1864 – 26 November 1917) Having trained as a doctor in Edinburgh and Glasgow, Inglis became concerned at the level of care for women following her work in maternity hospitals. In 1894, with Jessie MacGregor, Inglis opened a maternity hospital in Edinburgh for poor women, staffed entirely by women. She was to later play an important role in founding the Scottish Federation of Women’s Suffrage Societies. During the First World War Inglis set up the Scottish Women’s Hospitals which eventually sent over 1000 women doctors, nurses, orderlies and drivers to war zones across Europe. In April 1915 Inglis took a women’s medical unit to Serbia. During an Austrian offensive in the summer of 1915, Inglis was captured but eventually, with the help of the American diplomats, British authorities were able to negotiate the release of Inglis and her medical staff.

That is the Pearl and Sail Monument.

True, you can see that the third and fourth horses from the left seem to put on brakes when they gallop. They must have reach the edge of the island.

Here is the catalog start bid price for a Macau 1991 $1000 solid 888888 selling for SGD$6000 in the coming Monetarium Singapore Coin and Banknote auctions on 17 Oct 2009. I have two similiar pieces in solid 333333 and 555555. The question is whether can they sell at $6000 SGD ?

Lucky find fancy number for a 1929 SS $1 M/66 26888 and a pair of British Borneo Malaya 1953 $1 (lots of 8s) A/88 280288-280289.

Thanks for the comment and info. The note is still in HK and should be on the way. More than twenty years ago, I have a similiar piece with a much sought after solid 8s. I kept for a few months before I sold it away gaining a profit of $150 SGD. Not a bad investment back then. This piece will stay in my collection for a very long time.

Hong Kong HSBC 1979 $100 Solid 555555 - Perfect UNC

Beautiful and a classic.

Not sure. I don't see any small print on the notes. I just notice that even though both Macau notes were dated on 9 Dec 1991, one of the signature are different.

Wow...Solids from Bahamas..pretty scarce. Never seen one before. If only you can find a 555555 for my collection. What is "1 Lempira" denomination ? From which country in Central America ?

Better now ?
