year.

For the £1 notes, so far, 62 signature

No. ET74 884999 cannot be sold at present

as it is matched with the deckled edge note

EY74 885000 as shown below

The above banknote is the end or the 10th

banknote from the above run of 9.

Why it has not been included with the other

9 notes is that the left and right sides of the

note are deckled where as ALL other notes

are always - straight cut !

This is the first time I have ever come across

this on a 1 Pound banknote but well known on

White banknotes up to 1945.

Has this been found before !? Does anyone have an explanation as to why !!
