Lot 3048: 1903 British North Borneo 25 Cents British North Borneo 1903 P-7a PMG Fine 12 25 Cents Very scarce small-change note from British North Borneo. This particularly example is dated 1903, and is seen here in typical condition for this issue. However, unlike many others, this one does not come with negative remarks. Problem-free notes from this time period in this grade are very difficult to find.
Having collected U.S. Civil War scrip, I have a soft spot for small change notes of all kinds. This one saw a good bit of service. -Editor

Lot 3053: 1954 Canada Devil's Face $100 Canada 1954 BC-35a PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ 100 Dollars "Devil's Face" Coyne-Towers signature combination. Devil's Face variety, so-called because of what appears to be a devil in the Queen's hair. This variety was printed for a relative short period of time before the engraving was altered to remove the "devil" image. Higher denominations are scarce, particularly in Gem Uncirculated condition as seen here.
A classic note. Good story, always popular. -Editor

Lot 3248: Madagascar 50 Francs Madagascar ND (1937-47) P-38 PMG Choice UNC 64 50 Francs Popular type note from Madagascar. A small group of these turned up in Europe years ago, and all known uncirculated examples come from this group. Light foxing was visible on all notes, including this one, which deemed PMG to exclude it from the EPQ designation. However, it is fully original and a pleasing type example with a unique design.
Great note - nice design. -Editor
