Pre Fed 1 Pound Australian Note!

ok here are a few that I quickly scanned up, thanks for the previous posts, very helpful!








If anyone can let me know any info or approx valuations of these it would be much appreciated.

Sorry of the quality of scans, first few times I've ever done it haha

The first one is Armitage/McFarlane, difficult to tell grades from scans, but I would say it is Ef or better. Ef is valued at $325, aUnc at $575 and Unc at $975. Yours may be Unc, but like I said, it is hard to tell from the pics.

The second one is Coombs/Watt, Ef $425, aUnc $700, Unc $1300

The third one is Coombs/Wilson, it looks to be uncirculated, value $375

The fourth one is another 'WOW' one. Riddle/Heathershaw, again, difficult to tell the grade from the scan. Vf $875, EF $2500, aUnc$5000, unc $9750

The fifth one is Riddle/Sheehan, looks to be in great condition, Ef $2100, aUnc $3850, unc $7000

The sixth one is Sheehan/McFarlane, Vf$325, Ef $825, aUnc $1450, Unc $2500

The last one is another 'WOW' Cerutty/Collins. Fine $2100, Vf $6250, Ef $21,000 aUnc $36,500 Unc $57,500

You really need to get these assessed. You have an important and valuable collection that would be incredibly difficult to replace in the event of loss or damage. The 'wow' notes here don't turn up all that often and a collection like yours will generate a lot of interest if you decide to sell them all at once. Australian banknotes have been an incredibly good investment over the last couple of decades. They have out striped virtually all other forms of investment. If you don't need to sell, this collection will only increase in value. If you do need, or want to sell, take your time and learn all you can to make the best decision. Like Sap said, auction will probably be the best way to go.

Please understand this next bit carefully. I have given you a few prices for each note based upon grade, VF being Very Fine, EF being Extra Fine and so on. Value of ALL notes and coins is based upon a few things, condition, as denoted by VF, EF etc, scarcity, which your "wow" notes definitely have, and demand, again, your 'wow' notes. Grading is subjective, you may want them all to be uncirculated because they are the most valuable, but if three dealers say it is EF, then that is what it is.

Placing your notes at auction will be the best way to determine value, people will pay what they think they are worth, with no other factors influencing.
Selling to a dealer might, and I say 'might', result in a slight down grading in the dealers favour. For what you have, you need to be dealing with the experts in this field.
If you approach a few dealers with the intent of obtaining valuations for insurance purposes, which will most likely cost a small fee, you will get a good idea of grade.

Those are beautiful notes--I hope I'll run across any in similar condition here.

Latman, thank you soooo much, I knew these particular notes would be worth something, and to all my reading up on them its not far off what you say, but I couldnt believe it, I needed for somine to say it, but please note that all my notes have been in the most brilliant condition, how bad can a 100 year old note look, even a 50 year old note look when thyve been keopt ion plastic almost the whole time? I mean mine, I believe are in the most beutiful condition a note some could have, somthing to treasure and past down through generations.(my grandmother was really anal about not taking them out of the folder to look at). I honestly thankyou from my heart, and so SHE would aswell. My grandmother would be soooo happy for me and in what she has collected over the last 100 odd years. Mind you, these are only some of the notes, I do have approxematly 300 coins, some of which I researched on about 12 years ago and found out they were worth some cash but couldnt be bothered being at a young age to really LOOK for there worth. I will go through them now knowing what the notes could be worth in the hope to either pay my house off, keep for investment and also as I have a new born, even for her to maybe sell at a later stage in her life so she can live comfortably rather then what my grandparents and even parents did.
I have shed a tear or two over this post, meaning that my life has changed (im now 31, my grandmother passed away back around 1994, my mother has told me that she thinks that my whole collection could bring in a value of 100k, not really knowing what my grandmother had). Thankyou to the people that have either posted or even just looked at what I have in my collection. I will scan up in this post anything that I find worth some cash or even just for interest sakes.
This website has changed my life!
THANKYOU

If anyone has further comments or either approx valuations feel free to post. PLEASE!
