nutmegcollector Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Mine is Saint Vincent P-S115s $5 1.2.1917 UNC. The note is not the most valuable one in my collection, but certainly the highest price I actually paid. I bought it at a recent auction. Care to guess how much I paid? Do you care to share with us the highest price you paid for a note? Scans of the note? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saor Alba Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I am not sure, I haven't spent as much on paper money as coins, but I have numerous examples that go four figures. Beyond that, no specifics since I really don't care about the prices. I only know approximately how much I paid for one particular foreign note that is the most for a foreign note, but I bought it to give to someone as a gift.

MMMM Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 hmmm...you didn't cheat by any chance? Which one is yours? I saw one similar to yours for sale at Bowers and Merena. Nice pictures on that site. I remember seeing it because of the Unicorn and Lion and I was thinking maybe I'll get one someday. That isn’t going to happen for that price. My wife (the accountant) thinks spending 100 on a banknote is too much ("that’s food for a week for a family of 6"). The most I ever spent for a note was $100 for an uncirculated French West Africa 25 Francs from 22-4-1942, the one with the Lion on the back (need to post the picture). I probably paid too much. Boy you’re lucky you did not hear the words or feel the steely stare of that one. But it was worth it. A really nice note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Technically, I didn't "pay" for this one because I bought a very large lot and sold these at a price that allowed me to make a profit, but I consider it my most "valuable": 1912 500 Ruble with a Konshin signature, nice and crisp. Yeah, has some folds, but these for some reason are not commonly seen for sale for a reasonable price. Probably worth anywhere between $20 and $40 (the one with a Shipov signature is like $3 and is as common as dirt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMMM Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Yours truly bought the one you saw at Bowers and Merena. Do post your French West Africa note. Love to see it. Congratulations, wonderful banknote. Since The Banknote Bank did their upgrade, whenever I try to post a jpg it crops the top and bottom. I will have to play with image setting, as soon as I can I will post it. Did you win any other notes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klark Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 This is the most expensive bill in my collection, 1 reichspfennig 1940. Worth somewhere around 250 euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
see323 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 To-date, this is still my most expensive note I paid and only for my collection. Not for investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRnholio Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Got this when I bought a medium sized collection a couple years back. Worth $150 or so in VF. I'm no expert grader, but it's much better than those advertised on Ebay as VF, so I think it probably actually grades VF ! $10 Canadian Bank of Commerce, 1935.

nutmegcollector Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Up until I bought the St. Vincent note, the highest price paid was for a Zanzibar 1 Rupee 1920. I bought it from a private collector who had 3 of them for sale, 2 XF in consecutive serial numbers and one VF radar note, all for the same price. I bought one of the XF notes (the one shown on the top) and a dealer bought the other two. The dealer resold them shortly afterward for a nice profit.

I have been looking for any notes of Zanzibar, but so far been unsuccessful. This is the one Rupee series where that I do not have even a single note.
