  1. See323 must have found Pam West :ninja: I have found that she seems to have the "in" as far as getting nice serials from Scottish banks. I have a serial # 00000011 set of Robert Burns notes from the Clydesdale from 1996.

     

    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. ;)

  2. 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.

    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.

     

  4. 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 ?

  5. Nice HK note See, it has to be one of the last dated notes with the Bradbury imprint on it.

     

    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. :ninja:
