Specimen Notes For Swap

Hi -

I just started adding more banknotes to my swap list.

I have some interesting pieces, including some that nobody else here on Numista has listed for swap…!

Today I added some specimen notes from Sierra Leone and the Philippines.

These sets were sold by the Franklin Mint back in 1979 / 1980.

I have the original envelopes and paperwork for both sets.

Check recent ebay sales and you'll see these notes can be fairly valuable!

I'm looking for other banknotes or world silver coins in exchange, or make a cash offer.

Please PM with questions or offers.

Here are some photos for our shared viewing pleasure:

On 26.10.2021, Spink auction house (London) sold a complete set of Franklin Mint Specimen notes (lot #1895) for £600 plus 20% buyer's commission. The set was listed with the expected realisation of between £600 - £800. It appears that only one bidder for this lot.

I must say that these Franklin Mint specimen notes are very nice. I have a full set in my collection, and I believe the Bahrain set is the most expensive set of the lot now. Lucky me that I only paid just over $22 back in the early 90s for the Bahrain notes.

BTW, I believe you are missing the 2 leone for the Sierra Leone set.

Good luck to you.
