Sweet treasury note Tech, wish mine was as clean and crisp as that one. Now you need the 10/- denomination and the Bradbury signatures to go with it... good luck they are pretty expensive in that sort of grade.

DavidUK, I'm working on it but gotta give the "buy paper money" bucket a wee bit of a transfusion first.  I think Pam West has a few but the $$$ are high.

Pam West has most things... when I was at the London banknote fair I went to every stall and then the 2 notes nobody else had I bought from her, all of her stock is quality but she is pretty solid when it comes to prices, I got two of my nicest notes from her but couldn't get the prices down much. She seems particularly knowledgeable though. Another dealer I met there who I would highly recommend was Colin Narbeth. He had a first series £20 that nobody else had there and was a pleasure to deal with. He also stocks lots of this sort of thing. http://colin-narbeth.com/collection...easury-notesI have all 4 Britannia treasuries but they are all the money so I took a Bradbury 10s with cashier writing on the reverse and the other 3 notes are around VF condition. An attractive type note though in my opinion. |

DavidUK, I can certainly agree with you about the quality (and pricing) of Pam's inventory--excellent notes indeed; as for pricing well you've been there, she is a tough negotiator! She's always a joy to visit with at the Memphis show. Have purchased a few notes from her in the past. As for Colin Narbeth, very familiar with him; also quality and fairness in business dealings. I see he has the 10/ Bradbury, hmmm. Christmas is coming and maybe my "Santa Claus" will read my list carefully. Thanks for the link and your compliments.

Very nice Dave. I ordered some cheapies today, a set of Bulgarian notes which cost me less than £5. I have an older set too, these are not rare or anything special but I think they are attractive and having visited the place they are of interest to me.   Sellers images... |

@ DavidUK - I'm with you - I have always thought the Bulgarian notes were nice designs. I like their newer ones too, though I only have a couple of them.
A CelticKnot - Have you noticed the watermarks on the lower denominations of those Zim Notes? I had to laugh when I saw that the notes denominated in cents were printed on paper with 500 Dollar watermarks!

HA! The 25M Agro $Z note's watermark is 500! The others say "RBZ".
Excellent observation!

Well I just re-checked those notes, @DaveL, and all the fractional $Z do indeed have a "500" watermark!
In that set I posted above, here are the various watermarks:
Agro 5B, 50B, 100B: "RBZ" + strange bird
Agro 25B: "500" + strange bird (SB)
2006 Bearer 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.50: "500" + SB
2006 Bearer 1: "RBZ" + SB
2008 Bearer 10M, 50M, 100M: "RBZ" + SB
2008 Bearer 25M: "500" + SB
2008 100k, 500k, 50M, 200M: No visible watermark but a UV ink security stripe and the strange bird in color shifting ink.
2008 1M: "1000" and strange bird plus thick holographic embedded security strip
note: I would have edited my post above regarding this but it had already been over a day since my reply.

Here's one I got in the mail yesterday. The $Z notes I'm lacking now are harder to find in a set and for cheap.  This one is the harder-to-find P10 version of the 2001 $Z 500 note. The P10 has a fancy, thick holographic silver-zebra-patterned security strip on the left side of the front of the note. It does not appear to be woven into the paper. For watermarks there is a "500" and a strange bird on the right side. I think this is a really cool note. |

Nice notes! Is that the King of Tonga I see in the watermarks?

CelticKnot, yes, King Tupou VI, who was coronated in July 2015 (the same guy printed on notes).
