Paper Money Collecting - Video of Old British Banknotes

As I've said before, my technical skills are quite limited, so you'll have to bear with me.

In the meantime, I've been searching for some video's and pictures to help bring to life the beauty and historic value of the bank notes collectors find so fascinating, and I'm glad to say that the search has started to pay off.

Today we'll start with a collection by Chuck, who is a very generous and funny man, and I hope this comes out in the video you are about to watch.

Paper Money Sale - $500 Bank Note for Grabs

In case you are a paper money collector interested in US Bank Notes, please read on. I wouldn't want you to miss out on this sale without taking a look.

This 1834 $500 Bank note was the last of America's $500 bills, the highest denomination is now $100.

You never know if this will be another record find.

Visiting my link and making a purchase will mean that I make a little commission on the sale. You can obviously buy similar notes from dealers if they have them available. But I would appreciate it if you did visit the page and if you decide to buy the little commision I get will make it possible for me to continue to provide quality content on this page.

EBay does it again - Paper Money Sells at Record Price.

Did you know that a good place for a bargain, even for unique paper money notes was eBay?
Well an English gentleman had quite a great story to tell about his eBay find.

You know when you and the wife have some family time and set out a list of projects to do, in the winter or summer months, and you resent the fact that these are going to dig a deep hole into you pockets? Well I guess this was one of those occasions.

The temptation to buy or not to buy these unique English £10 notes was a bit too much for the gentleman in question. So he did just what his collector's spirit wanted.

After which his wife said to him,

"You seem very good at buying all these so-called bargains, Laurence, but you don't ever sell them! I would like the house completely redecorated and you have just spent £1250 out of the budget!”

So he decided to make an effort and sell the notes to appease his wife, and guess what, they sold at a record price of £6,600 at Spink in June!

Now with a £6,600 sale, I'm sure the gentleman could now say to his wife:

"You see honey, it's just as I thought, my paper money collecting has paid off and you will have the house redecorated as requested courtesy of my eBay bargain find."

All I can say is, what a find, I hope we can replicate the same as we learn and grow with this fascinating hobby of paper money collecting.
