GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 08/04/2015 3:46 pm I picked up a couple notes today. Not sure if they have any value or just some interesting notes for my collection. Not sure what the date for the Bank of England note is? The Union bank of Scotland has date 10th July 1939 Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 08/05/2015 01:07 am The signature on the BoE note is #8203;that of Kenneth Peppiatt, signatory from 1934-1949. From Wikipedia: Quote: In 1940 a metal security thread was introduced, and the colour of the note was changed to blue and pink for the duration of the war, to combat German counterfeits. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 08/06/2015 3:15 pm A Bank of England note always retains its face value, for which it can be cashed in at a bank. I have a 2011 banknote yearbook, which gives values for your note as £8 in VF and £20 in EF. This book gives the blue £1 notes being introduced from March 1940, reverting to green in September 1948. Your serial of Y86D is towards the end of the run, but I cannot be more specific. Maybe somebody else can give more detail? I would estimate your note to be somewhere around F, but I am a novice at banknote collecting. Edited by Anaximander 08/06/2015 3:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 08/06/2015 3:26 pm Your Scots note was issued by the Union Bank of Scotland. This design with these signatures was issued Feb 1937 to Sept 1945. Listed in my yearbook (2011) as £40 for VF and £75 for EF. Report this Post to the Staff
