souvasco New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 04/01/2019 12:04 pm Hi all - New to posting here and new to banknotes, but wanted to ask a question. How much do you bank note collectors (Australian notes in particular) care about last prefix issues? If so, what sites do you like to buy/sell on? I wish I had asked this question to the forum BEFORE submitting my note for auction at GC, but #128532; oh well. Thanks for your input! Report this Post to the Staff

ryurazu Pillar of the Community Australia 1333 Posts	Posted 04/01/2019 8:44 pm yes they care, but Australian note market is quite depressed. Depends on the if the digits were last or first issued or replacement issue (star note). non-tamper with uncirculated would do okay pricewise. Report this Post to the Staff
serenitystan Valued Member Australia 145 Posts	Posted 04/02/2019 02:25 am If it is a Australian ten shilling note 1939 Sheehan/Macfarlane R12L Prefix F24 uncirculated it would sell for between $3000.00-$3500.00 AUD at auction today. Fist prefix no D98 seem to be very hard to find. Check Noble auctions Australia as they did sell a first prefix R12l for $3000.00 plus about 2 years ago. IAG auctions have a pair of R12L as A/UNC for $2000.00 AUD. All Australian predecimal first and last prefix notes in true uncirculated condition are very very hard to find as most are only A/U. Also which auction did you place your note in as I would like to view it and buy if it makes the grade.. Report this Post to the Staff
souvasco New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 04/03/2019 12:36 am Thanks very much for the replies. Being new to currency and in the US means I'm way outta my depth. I only have circulated examples if Australian notes - I suspect WWII souvenirs. I doubt my modest VF25 will interest you, but it's up on GreatCollections. (Am I allowed/supposed to post a link in reply?). Report this Post to the Staff
souvasco New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 04/06/2019 12:56 pm Well, either I way overestimated interest in a circulated example and/or GreatCollections might have been a poor choice for Australian currency. Ends 4/7/19 PM (GMT -8, I think) and currently 1 bid at $30 US with 2 tracking. Shrug. I'll provide updates Monday after final tallies come in. Report this Post to the Staff
