Picked Up A Scarce Note Today!~

What do you guys think of this?





Seychelles 1974 Ten Rupees. Pick 15b. Catalogues at $350 in CU and this note is CU.

What - you guys thought I didn't know anything about this stuff?

I really did pick this one up today. Then I looked it up in the book and put it in a holder for the boss.
I didn't say I bought it did I?

I know, "that was cruel clembo" but it is an interesting note how we came about it is as well.


Yesterday we had a guy come into the shop with a box of "stuff" as we call it. One U.S. proof set and the rest all world stuff. We're not real strong on world but the guy wanted to dump it.

Seems his uncle was a collector that did a lot of world traveling in the 60s and 70s.
I went through the coins yesterday and nothing really earth shattering. A few better sets but basically what I'm used to seeing. A lot of the stuff will end up in the "dime box" we keep.

So today I dig into the paper. Honestly, this is usually an excrutiating task for me. It's excrutiating because it's usually stuff that's common as dirt in low grade. This too ends up in a "bargain box".

Well, today I looked up at least 100 notes. I put ONE in the "bargain box".
I actually enjoyed this today and am looking forward to more tomorrow. Most of the stuff is in GREAT shape. High end AU-CU+.
I found many notes in the $20-40 range. A few higher and a few over $100. This one is the cream of the crop so far but who knows I'm not even half way through it!

So, I don't own this note but it is nice and a nice change of pace for me. It will most likely go on ebay tomorrow so I'll add if anyone is interested PM me and I'll lead you to the auction (am I allowed to do this?) The boss will most likely be posting SEVERAL World Notes in the next week or so.
