Today I picked up a series A £1 note signed by PS Beale, March 1950 to November 1955. I estimate condition as fine+. There is no damage, just some folds and a grubby mark. However, the back is very interesting.

The left hand edge is overprinted with part of the obverse, in reverse-print.

I have never seen this before, though I have only been collecting a short while.

Any comments/information would be welcome.

Just in case you don't know:
this is P-369b,
VG $5, VF $8, UNC $22.50

Obviously the prices are for a normal note.

So that's what a one pound note looks like.

This is an "A" series note, which basically remained unchanged from 1928 to 1960. In 1940 the colour changed to a bright blue, and back to green in 1948.

The "C" series was introduced in 1960, green, with a picture of the Queen on it. Sorry, can't give you a pic at the moment as am at work. No "B" series was released for the £1, only for the £5, and then for just a short while.

I have a photo of a B series £1...you re correct it was never released but design were worked on for that and a £2 note. Pressumably there are none in collectors hands but the £2 note was displayed in the 90's.

Its a shame because the B series note is a beautiful design with the lion holding the key to the bank of England in his mouth on the reverse.

Back to this note: 3,811 million of these were released but the book I have doesn't mention that error, I wonder how much value that adds to an otherwise unremarkable note.
