Pricing Info? 1933 $100 Shillings East Africa Specimen!!!!!

Tookybandit

This note belongs to a friend and I am finding it very difficult to come up with an estimated value. Unlisted in Krause, and no HA, SB, or LK results (That I can find).



Any assistance is greatly appreciated!!



Pic is not the best, but enough to easily identify the note.

Not really! What is the date in the lower left?

Tookybandit

I had posted the date in the thread title "1933", but the full date is 1.1.1933



Issued notes are listed in Krause, but not the specimen.

Sorry, getting old. And yes, Pick does not list a specimen for 1933.



Spink sold this note or one like it in April 2016 for 1800 pounds without juice.

2300

1600

Many of the better Specimens and Proofs (non ABN) probably belong to a single owner who consigns to various auctions, selling only a few notes here and there.

Reserves are usually well above what the top buyer is willing to pay, so much doesn't sell. Such was also the case with the recent Spink USA auction for this material.

The auction houses don't like this but are willing to cooperate because the material is top shelf, and attracts attention for their auctions. But auctions where much material is reserved too high isn't good for the collector, consignor, auctioneer or the market.
