BANKNOTES
3 An impressively wide-ranging
world
collection in five binders (using photocorners).
Excludes China, Germany, and
Scotland, which are offered here separately. The strength
is undoubtedly in the
variety, effort clearly having been made to obtain examples from as
many countries as possible,
rather than in depth, some of the larger countries being
surprisingly thin. Much is
cheap, but many included worth at least a pound or two, and
some better e.g. Sweden 1941
50kr (fine). (Approx.1,150) þ

3,500 altogether. þ ..

33 North of Scotland Bank
Ltd.; 1907 (1 May)
£1 note,
overprinted diagonally in red “The
North of Scotland and Town
& County Bank Limited/in which is incorporated/The North
of Scotland Bank Limited”. A
rare note. In James Douglas’s Scottish Banknotes (1975) he
reports Town & County
Bank notes being overprinted in a similar way, but makes no
reference to North of
Scotland Bank issues being treated thus. Would probably grade as Fine
– the note is intact and
colours are strong, but much wear, numerous folds and creases,
grubby marks especially on
the reverse, etc. :

note, about F. SC710a cat.£180. ..

note, handsigned p.Accountant, about F.
SG710a cat.£180. 60.
36 Royal Bank of Scotland; c.1826/1831 forgery of
One Guinea note. This is a good quality
production on watermarked
paper, with handwritten numbers, and signed by hand, and is in
fair condition; some general
wear and grubbiness, portions missing at left and at foot. It is
endorsed “Forged” six times
on the reverse.
Accompanying this is an 1831
entire letter from the Custom House in Grangemouth to The
Cashier at the Royal Bank of
Scotland in Edinburgh (GRANGE/MOUTH two-line mark, dated
PAID
mark), in which the
Collector (?) explains that the note was accepted by the First Clerk
(who has also signed on the
reverse of the note) in good faith, and asks that the bank issue a
genuine note in its place.
Accompanying write-up (from Robson Lowe’s collection ?)
suggests that the bank did
not accede, but there is no evidence that this is the case.
It seems that the crime of
banknote forgery could carry the punishment of execution,
transportation, or
amputation, but that it was also
common for banks to honour
forgeries
innocently accepted, so as
to maintain confidence in paper money. A fascinating item.
£500.
37 --; 1917 (1 Sep.) “square”
£1 note, grading about VG/F, with
various folds and creases,
general wear and grubbiness
from use. SC801b (cat.£180. for F.)

56 Massive lot in about two
dozen albums,
nearly all in sets. While most are commoner issues,
there are good sets to be
found; some odds/part sets also. Condition on the whole is fine but

the albums have been damp at their corners which will have
affected some cards, {2}
many cards have been individually wrapped in cellophane which
has done no obvious damage
but may have damaged some. (Many 1,000s) þ

A Buyer’s Premium of 10%
(vat-inclusive)
will be added to all sale prices.
0845 0500 886 Use
this number to make bids or to check on
prices after the auction – or any time you want to speak to us – from
anywhere
in the UK for the cost of a local rate phone call.
€uro Currency; We are happy to accept
Euro cash payments in our shop. We display our rate beside the counter.
We
normally allow the market rate rounded down to the next whole penny.
For
example, at the time of writing, the market rate is 0.8242, so we are
allowing
82p per Euro (which is probably better than your bank will give you).
You can
also pay for auction lots in Euro banknotes (postal customers please
confirm
before sending). We also accept payments in our shop in Euros, and we
buy many of the
old “legacy” currencies, as well as other coins and notes.
Most
auctions include a few lots which, due to their large size or weight
compared
to value, will not be taken to the auction venue. They must therefore
be viewed
at our shop during the previous week, and successful purchasers will be
responsible for their collection from us. The symbol for these is “ Ä”, and very generally speaking,
there's a cut-off
point of about £2 or £3 estimate per kilo weight.
If you attend the auction and buy any of these lots, you can either
call at the
shop during normal opening hours, or it is sometimes possible to
arrange to
pick up after the auction has finished (though please first speak to
Mr. Murray
to arrange this).
NORMAL BIDDING
STEPS
We
list here our normal bid steps for your information. This may be of
help to bidders
who are unable to
attend the sale, as any written bids received which do not fit our
normal
pattern would usually be taken
down to the next normal step. (We keep to these increments as much as
possible,
but do sometimes
change if circumstances make it desirable.)
Up to £20, bids are in £1 steps.
From £20 to £30, bids are in £2 steps.
>From £30 to £50, bids are in £2 or £3 steps
(i.e. £30, £32, £35, £38, £40, £42,
£45, £48, £50).
>From £50 to £100 in £5 steps.
From £100 to £200,
bids are in £10 steps.
>From £200 to £300, bids are in £20 steps.
>From £300 to £500, bids are in £20 or £30,
and
above this in 5% to 10% steps.

list of abbreviations and symbols
used is from time to time included in the auction catalogue. We suggest

you keep a copy for future reference.

CREDIT
CARDS
We are happy to
accept MasterCard and Visa credit card
payments, as well as payments by Maestro and Delta. This facility can
be used
by room purchasers (who pay their accounts at the auction), by other
local
customers (who pay their bill in our shop), and by postal buyers.
In order to deal with postal clients, our bid forms have been designed
to make
space for credit card instructions.
If you want your purchases charged in this way, please complete the
appropriate
section.
Do not complete these
details unless you want to

We have negotiated good rates with our bank, and are able to absorb the
bank
charges for this service ourselves, and therefore there is no
additional charge
for the use of this facility, as long as postal bidders give us their
details in
advance of posting. Only for postal buyers where card details are
given after
posting, we will charge 1.9% extra
(Visa/MasterCard) or 18p (Maestro
and Delta), plus cost of posting receipt slip.
VIEWING; please note that lots can normally be viewed in our
shop during the one week prior to the auction. It is sometimes
possible
to view auction lots outside the normal times, but this must be by
special
arrangement.
