COLLECTORS QUEUE UP FOR NEW £10 NOTES

This article from The Sun describes the banknote collectors and speculators who lined up at the Bank of England for examples of the new £10 notes. -Editor

Bank of England queue for new 10 pound note A coin and note collector braved the streets of London last night to get his hands on some of the first £10 notes - and he's already doubled his money.

First in the queue was Seamus O'Dwyn, from Surrey and he has already made more than £250 from selling the new plastic tenners.

The 49-year-old coin and note collector arrived at 6.30pm last night to make sure he was able to pick up a bundle of the new notes which features author Jane Austen.

He said: "I wanted to be one of the very first people in the country to touch them. I've already sold 26 on eBay at £19.50 each to buyers in place like Australia and Singapore."

He claims that most of the buyers are from overseas and that there isn't much demand in the UK.

The cash fanatic also plans to give some notes away to charity too.

He was one of hundreds of people who queued up at the Bank of England this morning, with the doors opening at 8am.

Jane Austen banknote front

We now have some new Jane Austen polymer £10 banknotes in stock.

We will load them onto the site under B415.

B415 AH prefix unc £15 + £1 post - if you require 2 notes + £2 post recorded (no matter what the computer says)

B415 AH different prefixes, but, matched serials per pair £35 + £2 post recorded.

We have recorded the following prefixes so far:

AA, AE, AH, CA, CB

Please report what prefixes you see. Buying AA01 and any mid prefix 01's

It seems that many in the huge queue at the Bank of England yesterday expected to get AA01 prefix notes, this has not been the case for over ten years!

We hope to get some AA01's in due course and will email when we do so.

We will of course, advise when the Scottish polymer £10 notes become available - if you want us to hold your order to marry them all up together, let us know.
