Should fetch £250-£300 for scrap value alone - that's where most are going these days. Check this eBay link.

Hello everyone. I'm looking for advice on a pair of €100 notes from 2002 and a pair of Irish €500 notes. Inspired by this page. I'm wondering what I could reasonably expect for these notes and what would be the best way to go about selling them. I already looked at banknotes.com and couldn't find any more on these Irish euro notes so any help would be appreciated.

So there's limited chance of getting anything above face value for those notes then?

Although the notes are rare, very few people are looking to buy them unless they are in near mint or uncirculated condition
Another reason so few are looking to buy these notes is the feared collapse of the euro

Could I get some help with some German empire marks and Reichsmarks?

I have a few so far but if I find some more it would be OK to post them?

I have found them on numismundi.com but comments as regards condition would be helpful.

1) 100 Mark

http://numismundi.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=321_329&products_id=1049

I have no idea why the ink on mine is green, could it be a forgery? In the posted link it's red.

2) 10 mark

http://numismundi.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=218&products_id=2637

3) 50 Reichsmark

http://numismundi.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=321_323&products_id=1108

or

http://numismundi.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=321_323&products_id=1107

Hey all, I was over in the Middle East a while back, and while in Petra and Amman I bought some coins off street vendors. They claimed that they were ancient Roman and Greek coins, and while they certainly look the part, I wouldn't be surprised if they were minted that day in vendor's back kitchen! Anyway, they were quite cheap so I said I'd take the risk and buy a few. I've had them in a drawer for a while now and thought I'd like to get them authenticated. Does anyone have any suggestions on reputable dealers/valuers, who won't charge me a small fortune, or worse, buy them off me for a tenner only for me to see him on Antiques Roadshow in a year selling them on for a few grand! I'm in Kilkenny, but am also in Dublin quite a bit. Any suggestions appreciated.

Also, while I'm at it, I'd like to build up a collection of ancient coins and artefacts. Any advice on where I'd go online to learn about starting such a collection? Thanks.

Hi Guys,

I have managed to get my hands so some €500 notes and am just wondering how I got about selling/auctioning them? I obviously want to maximise my return so I don't think I will sell/auction all of them at once!

I have gotten my hands on Irish issued notes (starting with 'T'), German issued notes (starting with 'X') and a few other letters which I have not looked into their origins. Some of these €500 notes are in pristine condition and some are slightly worn. I don't know if it is only certain country issues that have value? Obviously, the quality will also have bearing on the value.

I originally started a thread relating to this topic but it has been closed - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showt...p?t=2056467456

I got some good information from one post - http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...294910293.html but need some more help please.

Thanks a lot! I hope to make some easy money for the new year

I'm hoping someone can help me with an inquiry. My Aunt has in her possession a mint Lady Lavery £5 note from the 70's. I dont have exact details to hand ATM, what makes the note unique is the fact that the two serial numbers are different. this is a genuine note but non circulated as it was spotted in branch and not given to any member of the public. I can provide a pic later.
Regards
Mike

Hi everyone. I'm totally new to the whole collectibles thing. I don't actually have a clue but there are a load of old coins in the family and I've been wondering what they would be worth. I just picked 2 out that seemed to me to be a bit more rare than the rest. There's a lot of old pennys and florins along with other foreign currency. Some of them are from the late 1800's. Here are the 2 I thought I'd ask about.

I have a rare £1 " Ploughmans" Bank of Ireland Bank Note dated 3-7-1939.

I was wondering if anyone might know the value of such a note, it is in good condition.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Give the piece missing from the top left hand corner around the €250 mark would be a fair price for it
the colour looks to be a bit too strong, was it the lighting the photo was taken in or has it been washed?

the only ones that would have any real value over face would be a totally uncirculated €500 Irish note, if you have one that is in this condition you could thry putting it up on ebay but take note of the fees you will have to pay when you set your price

Uncirculated..? SO the issue letter has no bearing and it doesn't matter if the notes are Irish, German, etc.?

the larger one on the left is a silver mexican 8 reales piece from 1894
in its condition it would be worth around €25-€30

The smaller one is as you can read from the coin, an east india one rupee 1840, which is not an easy coin to find but because of the hole is worth around €15

Irish notes have a T serial number
These are the only ones with a real collectible value if they are uncirculated
