SELECTED SCOTTISH BANKNOTES FROM PAM WEST

Pam West deals in banknotes of the U.K. and publishes email pricelists of new material called A Bank Note Affair. Here are a few that caught my eye in her Newsletter 52, published today. These notes are not yet posted to her web site.

One of the hazards of being a dealer is having to deal with the uninformed public. As a banknote specialist, she's being inundated with calls about the new polymer five pound note after reports of various low or special serial numbered notes selling for large amounts. -Editor

Well, the new Bank of England polymer £5 has caused an avalanche of phone calls and emails from members of the public all believing or hoping that their £5 is worth more than face value. One morning we had 5 phone calls before 9am, of course, they did not realise we were still in bed. I was unsurprised to hear from one person (and I am sure there were more) that had called the Bank of England to ask if their £5 was worth more than face and they suggested they call a banknote dealer. The phone calls have slowed down a bit to around 20 a day!

We will be at the London Coin Fair, Holiday Inn, Coram Street, Bloomsbury on Saturday November 5th. If you are coming along and want a free admission ticket, just email me and we will leave one for you in reception.
