Manhattan, New York – March 28, 2008 – Spink Smythe’s March 20th (auction #278), spring paper money auction was well received by collectors of world banknotes, with heated bidding on higher quality lots. As has become the trend at Spink Smythe during recent numismatic auctions, quality lots have once again inspired bidders. This was typified by frantic bidding on several lots where the final bid well exceeded their pre-auction estimates. One of the more interesting lots offered was a 1932 Bank of Ethiopia, 500 Thaler, uncirculated note (see photo) which was described by Spink Smythe’s cataloger as “Very rare in this perfect original condition. Finest this cataloger has seen and there can be none better.” The pre-auction estimate on this note was $2500 to $3000. The final bid came in at $4000. The acquisition of quality world paper currency was not restricted to this one note. Other lots that saw strong interest included:
Lot #32 – Presale estimate $1,500-$2,000. Realized – $2,300
Bermuda Government. 1.5.1957. 5, 10 Shillings; 1, 5 Pounds. P-18b, 19b, 20b, 20c, 21b, 21c. Complete set of the 1957 QEII issue.
