MIF Maastricht Auction by Stacks Bowers Features the Amazing Paradise Collection
Part I will comprise rarities from Canada, with additional items from other countries such as Portuguese India, Nicaragua, Egypt, and India.
The MIF organisation is very pleased to announce that our main sponsor Stack's & Bowers will be offering Part I of the Paradise Collection during the MIF Paper Money Fair show in September (23-24-25th) at the MECC Congress Center! Lot viewing for this auction will be held on September 23-24. Part I will comprise mostly rarities from Canada, with additional items from other countries such as Portuguese India, Nicaragua, Egypt, and India.
From the Canadian section, the highlight is a DC-19 1911 Dominion of Canada 500 Dollars in PMG Choice Fine 15, conservatively estimated at $300,000 and up. The other star of the section is a BC-17 1935 Bank of Canada 500 Dollars in PMG Very Fine 20, which has a binary-radar-rotator serial number. This note has an estimate of $100,000 and up. A number of rare chartered banknotes are also included, with a nice mixture of issued and specimen notes offered.
From the Portuguese India section, highlights are examples of P-29s and
30s. The elephant notes are some of the most desirable from Portuguese
India, and these high denomination 50 and 100 Rupias seldom trade hands or
cross the auction block. Both P-29s and P-30s are in Choice Uncirculated 63
grades.
From Nicaragua, a neat piece of scrip and military history is found in a
P-S132 note that was issued by William Walker during his failed attempt to
colonize Nicaragua in 1856-57. The offered piece is in a PMG Very Fine 30
grade, and is the only example listed on the third-party grading service’s
population report.
Part II of the Paradise Collection will be presented by Stack's &
Bowers at the upcoming Fall Hong Kong sale, so be sure to keep an eye out
at their future blogs that will feature this material. Given the current
market, and the near unobtainability of some of these notes, we are
expecting another record sale for World paper money.
Many very rare banknotes will be offered by Stacks Bowers for the MIF
Maastricht auction.
So, welcome to the MIF Paper Money Fair (23)-24-25 September in MECC Maastricht!
