The fortune beneath the floorboards!
Why was a bundle of largely high-denomination notes stashed under the floorboards in a house in suburban Adelaide in the late 1920s? A mistrust of banks? The fear of future turmoil, sparked by the First World War? Proceeds of the odd sly wager? No one will ever know.
Roaring 20s rarity at a rare price
A key artefact of the Roaring 20s, as Australia recovered from WWI, the Kell/Collins £1 was issued for just one year – from April 1926 to April 1927. Printed in tiny numbers, even in comparison to other £1 issues of the era, this sought after note is scarce to rare across the grades, with only a tiny number remaining in existence.
With this crucial early Australian note missing from most collections, don’t miss the chance to add it to yours for $445 – $355 below catalogue value in Fine!
Issued for less than a year!
The successor to the note above, the 1927 Kell/ Heathershaw £1 was a similarly short-lived issue. Printed for less than a year, this 96-year-old note is naturally scarce to rare across the grades. An irresistible opportunity, secure the Kell/Heathershaw £1 for just $495 – $505 below catalogue value in Fine!
What we do know is that this hoard find represents your opportunity to secure some of Australia’s earliest notes – at prices to please all pockets! Such an opportunity must be grasped with both hands, as all early Australian banknotes are scarce to rare. Why is this so?
