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).

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. :

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.

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 � ��, 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.

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

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.
