I have a $100 note that is green as per the usual colour note one end but purple as per the $5-00 note the other end, is it worth anything
I have been involved in Numismatics for many years and will answer any questions that I can if anybody asks.
Hey mate any chance you can price the note I got please
G’day Greg, I have 4 Australian paper notes, $2, $5, $10 $20, these notes are hand signed by Frederick Wheeler, I’ve had these well over a decade and have contacted our treasury department talking to a lady there who knows of these notes and said Mr Wheeler had no permission to sign these notes for a family friend and are classed as “defaced” notes, she said the notes would be destroyed if returned to the treasury department, all the notes are on his signature notes which were signed in a Qld pub for a family friend who has also passed away many years ago, the missing $1 note is because there were no signature notes in the till at the time of his visit. I am curious to know if these notes would be worth selling to a collector of notes or just passing them down to family in the future, thanks for your time.
Hi greg I was wondering if a sequential set of 6x aud $50 sequential bank notes with prefix AH 200243796-AH 200243801is worth anything thanks for expertise & time on this matter. I appreciate your opinion

Hello greg i really need your assistance ive got a 50$ AA13701370 and cant fund any values could you give me an estimate cheers
I have 12 sequential $1 notes. Very good condition. DHL 416441 – DHL416452 I’d be interested in what they would be worth as I am new to the hobby
They sound like Johnston / Stone signatures so if circulated maybe $2 – $3 each. Cheers.
I have multiple one dollar bill silver certificate

Two of the five dollar bills say on top United States note like one five say that and serial number is A52566653A in red letters
Hello…I have a 1954 AF19 last prefix 10 shilling note…it has a gentle centre fold and a teller flick so I would say EF/AU. I cant find any sales at auctions or ebay at all past or present. Anyone have any idea on its rarity? Thank you.
Hey mate I would be interested in buying at the right price
Westend_drought@hotmail.com to get in contact
I do not know what the price would be as I cant find any sales so its obviously hard to find…what would you offer?
I have a 1985 $100 first prefix Johnston Fraser note which came up as semi rare. ZBC 743609. However on the signatures side of the note, there is a faint pen mark with the number 43. Does this eliminate any value the note may have?
Yes…graffiti will de value the note…for example if the note appears Uncirculated a buyer would probably value it as Almost Uncirculated…if it looks EF he would probably value it at VF. hope this helps.
Could you please send me some more information on the $50 note I have it’s Australian $50note, AA181019825.
Can you please check this $ 2 paper not
Australia
Johnston
RH Fraiser

Hi can someone please tell me about these numbers DA190628269 CH190628269 CG190628269 CK190628269 DF190628269 CJ190628269
On what denomination ?
Hi greg sorry been away all notes are $20
Could you please give me a closer amount $ wise what my note should be worth. It’s a Australian $5note, AA162057179.
I purchased but a bundle of 1000 $1.00 as last of the paper from a money dealer . These notes were put away until now . They are in perfect order but have the following prefix DHK 337672 printed by the Reserve Bank of Australia checked by GV008 Bundle 1082 042609 . Nowhere can I find any recognition of these markings ?
Note printing Australia will not give out any info but it sounds like you have Johnston / Stone signature notes. If you are seeking value they would be aprox $500 – $600 through auctions for a consecutive bundle of 100 notes less auction house commission of probably 22%. Cheers.
PS. The 1082 bundle number probably ids as 10th month 1982 print run…but that’s only my guess.

I love being able to use this site as I am new to this and I am 70. What I would like to know is what the Special Serial Types are or mean. I hope you will help me understand a little more about banknotes please.
I have gem uncirculated $50 with the error resposiblties, first prefix AA and a solid number AA185888888, so what do you think? How much is it worth?
Hi, my is John, I have 80 sequential uncirculated $1 notes serial numbers DNU 693001 TO 693080, and 19 sequential uncirculated $1 notes DNT 693480 TO DNT 693480 (missing DNT693499).
They were left to be by my late father, would they be of any special interest/value to a collector.
Thank you.
If u find u have one the notes thats a first prefix where would u go to get it valuated or to sell it ..or how do u sell it ?
There is a series of books called the Pocket Guide to Australian Coins and Banknotes which comes out every year and I believe it is in its 23rd Edition.
This gives the most accurate general value of coins and banknotes but this is not always what you will expect to get for your collection.
Generally the more realistic prices you will find are on eBay where you can search for a note or coin and then click the (Show SOLD Listings) to see what people will and have paid for them.
MOST of those bidders are referencing the pocket guide mentioned above while placing bids.
Also don’t forget that with eBay there are fees and PayPal fees and postage (Insurance and registered post) fees. Depending on what you want to sell this might be minimal and not an issue but bigger ticket items attract bigger percentage fees. Other options are Auction houses, actual live venue auctions where you will place your item for consignment and have it set for n auction listing on a given date which could take weeks to months depending on the venue.
Another method is to get general idea of the pocketbook value, the eBay sale value and round off a figure in between and throw it on gumtree. there are no fees and often people will meet you face to face either somewhere public like a library or somewhere safe but just be cautious of who and where etc. Once again depending on your item or collection.
Which is partly why there are fees associated with other services. Just make sure you register and insure anything posted.
Hi Jeff…coin and banknote values books are well over reality…Ebay is not really a guide as you will notice prices can fluctuate for the same item greatly and grading can be terribly wrong, not to mention the many 1oz silver copies being sold. The best place to find a value is to look at Downie’s or Noble’s auction results as that is where grading is true and it will give you an accurate value at that point in time. Price guides are just that… a dealers guide and in most cases unless its a really rare item dealers will sell dramatically below book prices but some items can also sell above as well. Pricing numismatics is not easy as it takes many years to be able to grade correctly and that is the most important aspect. At the end of the day anything is worth what someone will pay, finding the starting point is the game
. Cheers.
Thanks for a really great tool to quickly identify notes!!!! Well done!!
Can you send additional serial no please
Hi, Once you’ve checked a serial you can select the serial number text again to change/type a new serial number to be checked.
Hope this helps, thanks
