What to look for

Normal Banknotes :-

All banknotes are issued in prefix sequence, ie :-  A, B, C, D, etc  or  AA, AB, AC, AD, etc.

So if you observe, BE, BF, BG, BH, 'ZZ'  or 'Z' or 'X' out of alphabetical sequence.

Sometimes the wrapper bands on bundles of banknotes will indicate that there are out of

alphabetical sequence notes inside. These banknotes will be worth over face value.

suprised how much it could be worth.

Town Banknotes :-

Town Banknotes (Provincials) are always worth money. Many will be a hundred years old
or more. There are collectors out there that will pay £50 to £100 each for the right town 

    

      Stourbridge & Kidderminster unissued £5 paying £80

White Banknotes :-

White notes go from one pound through to one thousand pounds face value. 
Higher values and earlier dates will be worth considerably more.

Twentieth century cheques are not worth much but you never know.
Nineteenth century cheques are worth getting a quote on.

Bradburys and Fishers :-

10/- and £1 Notes issued by the Treasury, produced in various designs from 1914 to 1927.

A wide range in values depending on issue and condition £20 to £800.

      

       Fisher £1 United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland paying £60

Errors :-

 Errors are more common than you may think as banknotes are printed in their millions.
 Many different types of error may occur, anything from missing serials to completely
 missing print, extra paper, missing colour, missing signature, etc.,

    

      £50 Kentfield with paper fold causing extra paper error paying £130

 Low Numbers :-

 Collectors of paper money often seek the first prefix known, then, may also wish to
 obtain the lowest serial number possible.

      

       £5 O'Brien low number first prefix, paying £300

Condition :-

Condition of the notes is always important, the better the condition, the higher the price. A minor
crease on an otherwise mint condition note will drop the value by at least thirty per cent.  If you find
a note, look after it and keep it flat. We have had people pin banknotes to letters, devaluing them.
