ccg Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 No, that would not change the value of the note since having any number appear on a serial thrice in a row is rather common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The money man Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 so the serial no.E98966686 is nothing special then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks for the picture - in the original post there was no indication of where the note was from, since a number of countries in the Commonwealth had issued 10 shilling notes. From the picture, the note likely grades fine at best, since it appears to be very well worn. I have an older catalogue, which suggests that an Australian 1939 Sheenan / McFarlane 10/- note in fine retails for about $40. Current value may be higher or lower.

The money man Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 the value of the note in fine in 2011 greg mcdonald catalogue value is $265 but im after what a collector would pay for it as i never can get book value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 The McDonald catalogue is technically "insurance values" - it's basically what it'd cost to find and replace an item if need be. I generally find it to be rather overly optimistic as many items, especially more modern ones, can be easily purchased for 60% or less. The best answer for your question would be to ask some dealers in Australia what they would pay for the note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
