Any approximate date of this note is appreciated. Thanks.

Is there a watermark?

These were issued from 1948-1949. Pick 368a value in VG $10.00.

Thanks, looks a lot older to me. I was thinking 19th C. Did I pay too much?

<< <i>Did I pay too much? >>

I don't know what you paid.

Then it probably was too much. I'm embarrased to say how much I paid.

British banknotes are identified by the signature. Make sure to mention Peppiat if you intend to list it. I had a 10 shilling ,1 and 5 pound note type set but sold it last year.

I also picked up this Spanish note. Another blind purchase, that is, I had no idea of its real value. Cabadian 5c coin for size comparison.

If you're going to collect these, I have a superb 5 pound Helmeted Britannia ,one year type, crisp unc, that I intended to list on Tuesday. It will cost you a bit though.

Let's see. £5 = 5 x 1.8 = $9.00 a little profit and shipping . . . I'll give you $15 for it.

OK, it was made sometime between 300 BC and 2006 AD.

Glad I could help.
