Gorgeous! I'll have to look into getting one of those.



Wow, another nice one!

Came across this oddity recently. A Central Bank of China 1928 $100 for Chungking, but it has very clumsily overprinted markings for Chungking and without Chungking printed across Shanghai in English on the back (as with the normal version). I've also noticed that an identical note appears as the example used in the SCWPM for this issue!

They are presumably a period faking of the overprints, in 1941 or after (judging by the signatures) so the note could be used in Nationalist controlled areas. The genuine ones have the c1938 signatures. Thought it was interesting anyway.

Here's one I bought recently. The last issue of the Provincial Bank of Ireland with all of the bank's branches listed.

Hey all!!

I know I've been gone for a while but rare Portuguese notes don't grow on trees or on
ebay, while looking at another Portuguese note that popped up on my saved search, a note that I wasn't looking for or even on numista popped up. Price was reasonable but I offered about 15% less and we agreed on 10% below asking. Hopefully coming soon. I'll post pictures.

Out for Delivery!!

I have a goal to get a sample of each Escudo released by Portugal. The recent ones are really easy, the older ones not so much with a few over 4 figures and one over 5 figures. I have a search set up and when a new one pops up I go, sadly 99% of what pops up are common newer notes, last week a note that isn't on Numista popped up. I made a fair offer and ended up buying it. This note was released at a time that Portugal had high expectations for their money, even releasing a silver crown sized coin.




The note is Pick 113a, with the signature of Jose da Paixão Castanheira das Neves, I am unable to find printing, but these rarely pop up. This one also has great color and the condition for a 105 year old note is pretty impressive. There are only 26 graded notes.

Excellent!
