[Mac]

£1 x 52, £5 x 8, £10 x 3 = £122 face value.

68 notes, new to the Ploughman Scan Survey (PSS) added from Whyte's The Eclectic Collector 2016 auction, on 14 May, 2016.
Breakdown as follows:
BA x 13, BK x 1;
MA x 6, MK x 1, MT x 2;
NA x 30, NK x 5;
PA x 2, PT x 1;
RA x 1, RK x 1.

There are also two £10 notes and seven £5 notes in the sale which are already recorded in PSS.

The lowest grade note is a National £10, heavily repaired, which has been up several times before, always reserved too high!

Among these notes is a Provincial Bank of Ireland £10 note with Kennedy signature. This is interesting, as it is one of the rarer notes, but also it is outside of the known run of 17.7.39 £10 notes. It is also well circulated, pointing to the possibility that all notes of this date were put into circulation, even though they were likely extraordinary issue.


Provincial Bank of Ireland Ploughman 17.7.39. Kennedy signature.

There is a lot about the Ploughman notes which remains to be discovered.
