Recently a small hoard of 33 - consecutive  'Catterns' White £5 notes 

(Numbers 004/J 44323 to 004/J 44355

were discovered whilst throwing an old organ pipe onto a fire and a white £5 note fluttered out !

Luckily the pipe was removed from the flames before any serious damage could be done to the notes.

All of these notes being a consecutive run were in virtually uncirculated condition. 

They have a tiny amount of 'yellowing' which could be of age or from the heat of the fire !

* The example above shows a tiny part of 'yellowing' part way along the top edge - hardly noticeable ! 

These notes were auctioned off on June 2nd and the competition to purchase them was fierce from collectors and dealers alike as Catterns white 5 pound notes have been scarce in any grade on dealers lists over the last few years. Each note was sold separately with the top price of £894.00 being paid for more than one of them !!!!  Which is amazing as all of the notes varied by only a small margin in grade !!

We managed to purchase a couple of these notes (we have had none to offer over the last few years !) and I am pleased now to offer the above note or a one of similar quality for only -  £445.00
