I have this National Bank of Scotland 1920 £1 banknote and after extensive searching I still cannot find a guesstimate to its value. It can be found in catalogues but no value indication, ebay draws a blank, no banknote sellers list it. Notes from around 1920 seem to be between £100-£200+ so if any banknote specialist on here would be kind enough to send me a link or suggest a value it would be appreciated. Cheers Brian.    |

Hi JBL, nice banknote.
realbanknotes.com has a description of your note - Marquis of Lothian pictured, hand signed by Accountant etc, no picture or value though sadly.
colin-narbeth.com might be an option for you, send them an email?
They are in London & they also deal in rare/expensive banknotes.
Good luck

Found it on p1092 of SWCPM (16th Ed). It is from the 1908-1914 Issue P248b & the BV are as follows:
G $70 F$325 & EF $650. Your note looks G on the reverse but more F on the front -so I would estimate it to be about $150-$250 depending on what the demand is. Generally speaking, when a series of notes are only given G/F/XF estimates it means that Pick (the original authors of Krause's SWCPM) saw them as quite rare to "tough" to find in any condition. Hope that helps!

Here's a specimen of the 1 Pound banknote from the first 1893;1895 Series which preceded your note by about 20 years. It is listed as P240cs but that does NOT match the design so I'm pretty sure it should be listed as P244s but a specimen from 1889 is not listed in SWPMC (which is not uncommon for older series, as info emerges): https://banknoteindex.com/browse.mh...d&offset=170 te I highly recommend perusing the above "Banknote Index" as a great online guide to world banknotes. Enjoy! Edited by walk2dwater

Sent four requests to UK websites for info and valuation. I had ONE response. Value about £60 at auction, they will buy it from me at £45. I rather think I will have a gamble on ebay at some time ! Cheers all and thanks again. Brian |

People who inherit/find old notes often assume that others (sellers) get rich selling off the same banknotes but the reality is that it could take quite a while for them to unload each item they put up for sale/auction. There's many 3rd party costs involved too. The lower the grade the more challenging it is for them to sell near book. The backside (reverse) of your note (& edges) may scare off a few buyers. Let us know how you make out (& good luck!) |
