ichirensha Pillar of the Community United States 560 Posts	Posted 01/16/2026 8:03 pm I was curious myself so I went on ebay and checked the "completed" listings. I was surprised that there were quite a few in about the same grade as yours. It looks like yours would be worth about $15 - $25 Report this Post to the Staff
CKcollectibles2 Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 01/16/2026 11:11 pm I found the same thing when I looked. I was surprised that it was worth more than a few bucks because usually my expectations for world currency values are pretty low Report this Post to the Staff
scopru Pillar of the Community United States 5029 Posts	Posted 01/17/2026 08:04 am Value is what people will pay for it. The front is Lady Hazel Lavery The back is representation of river gods This date 30.9.76 would be showing the 4th signature pairing. Nice example. Report this Post to the Staff
ichirensha Pillar of the Community United States 560 Posts	Posted 01/17/2026 10:53 am It's a nice note. I honestly thought it would be worth a little more. CK, Do you mostly collect coins and happened to win this in a coin lot or you just liked the looks of it and bid on it? Report this Post to the Staff
CKcollectibles2 Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 01/17/2026 12:37 pm I got it in an auction for a coin club that I am in with some of my club dollars. It was a silent auction and I basically bid nothing. I thought it looked cool and I knew that a pound is worth more than a dollar so I basically bid $1 worth of points Report this Post to the Staff
ichirensha Pillar of the Community United States 560 Posts	Posted 01/21/2026 8:28 pm Good for you; you did great! It always feels good when you have a little win. I started with coins and moved to banknotes, enjoying the larger canvas of art, history, and culture with the addition of color, unique serial numbers, varying signatures, and anti-counterfeit measures like ultraviolet devices etc. Report this Post to the Staff
walk2dwater Pillar of the Community Canada 2571 Posts	Posted 01/22/2026 08:20 am It is a very popular Irish £1 (aka "Punt"). As @ichirensha pointed out, 1976 is the last & most popular year we see examples of this One Pounder. I was going to pick an UNC example up (for about $15-$20) a few years ago but then discovered Pam West's site & purchased a 1963 P-64a variety instead. It has a more purple "mulberry" serial number too. Here's the Numista entry for the Central Bank of Ireland P-64d £1 (last of the Lady Lavery series): https://en.numista.com/227028 This Sunday, I will re-post a £5 replacement from 1975 on this thread: https://goccf.com/t/485372&whichpage=20#4416330 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc8Kx5wCI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LeYOYtSAoc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq1DlqkPHhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsCjxldIao Edited by walk2dwater 01/22/2026 08:22 am Report this Post to the Staff
