HiHoAudio

A big thanks to HiHoAudio! I just completed a purchase of two 20 francs Marianne-Roosters from Kim.

 

The transaction went without a hitch. In my opinion, Kim went above and beyond on this transaction.

Just as happy on this end, thanks for the kind words David.

I have bought from yarm and he is the absolute best, and sold to brg5658 and he is a true gentleman as well.

LOTS of really good people here!

That $500 note is a real beauty.

I recall a summer day in 2002, I was at a coin shop near my house just chatting with the owner (I was in a band with him at the time) when a gentleman that he knew well walked in and sold him twenty consecutive $500 bills, all in mint condition.

He paid the man a fair price and then sold 15 of them to a buyer in Florida on the phone. AFAIK he still has the other five.

I would be more than happy with just one.

Two more nice ones.

A P78 from 1945.

And a P87 from 1955, the "common" companion note to the very rare P86.

Found three more:

A P45 from 1929.

A P46 from 1928.

And a rare P47 from 1931. A bold and well designed note.

Three more.

A P49 from 1938 with the old fisherman...

A cancelled P57 from 1940...

And a really nice P60 from 1944...

And three more:

King Solomon.

VERY rare these days. Now back in North Holland, the buyer helped me obtain the Bolten book. Dank U Remco!

Erasmus with the laughing bird on the reverse and another great serial #.

Three more:

Yes, that's a 1000!

A "common" Dutch note with an overprint on the reverse that makes it special...

Another fancy serial #.

Two early Dutch notes...

I found this one when the International Paper Money Show was held at the World Trade Center back in the 1990's.

Very early single letter serial number with two rust spots.

Thanks guys.

These are so big that they don't even fit into a regular sized holder.

Vivid colors and look at that fancy serial #.

Another beauty.

And another with a radar serial #.

And three more...

Woman in traditional Zeeland garb.

Rare AU+ replacement note.

These are few and far between.

I used to collect Netherlands Banknotes in the 80's and 90's and put together nearly a complete collection from 1916 through 1955, over 120 different notes, including a few rare ones.

I sold these on eBay between 2002-2003, and happily most went back to the Netherlands to Dutch collectors.

If there is any interest I will dig up my old photos and post the best ones here. Some of these old Dutch notes were true works of art.

Here are three very artistic Dutch notes that I once owned...

Not really rare but pretty cool nevertheless.....
