This sale is for Bank of Ireland £50 banknotes.
1st January 2013 with signature Stephen Matchet
The banks have stopped printing these larger denomination notes which is making them very hard to find now in decent condition & to find a replacement now is like searching for 'HEN'S TEETH'
Here is a chance to add one of these extremely scarce replacement nots to your portfolio before they all disappear into collections & get expensive as they become even harder to obtain.
Date 1st January 2013
2013 About UNC
AA420765, AA420793 These notes were purchased from a house clearance & have not been in circulation but because of counting flicks/folds I am listing them under this grade. These are the best grade I have found in these scarce £50s since issued in 2013, when I purchased some UNC.
2013 Extremely Fine
AA168658. This note was purchased from a house clearance & not from circulation but I am giving it this grade because of a counting mark/fold to the top right corner & a wrinkle to the bottom left, also it has been bent over leaving a couple of light vertical bens marks in the centre. The paper is as issued, except where the bank tape has left a mark along the top.
AA422352, AA422384. Both these notes have a vertical light fold in the centre, also at either side of this centre fold there are vertical bends & also a horizontal bend mark to the centre right. There is a light bend mark to the bottom left corner. The paper is very firm, free from graffiti or holes. The edges & corners are as issued.
