Opinions Wanted - Correction needed to the Great Britain 1902-Date, Type Set, Issued Notes Registry Set? 1 1

[Pastime Classics]

Hello all,

I'd like to ask for your opinions concerning a Great Britain Registry Set.

Does anyone else feel that the following notes should be removed as "slots" in the "Great Britain 1902-Date, Type Set, Issued Notes" Registry Set because they are Unissued Notes?  In my opinion, unissued notes should not be part of an "Issued Notes" registry set:

* 5 Shillings 1919 ND First Issue P352 T27 ND (1919) 5/- Shillings - Sign. N.K.W. Fisher- Unissued GBR352

* 1 Shilling 1919 ND Second Issue P353 T29 ND (1919) 1/- Shilling - Sign. N.K.W. Fisher- Unissued GBR353

* 2 Shillings - 6 Pence 1940-41 ND Emergency Issue P364 B254 ND (1941) 2/- Shillings 6 Pence Sign. K.O. Peppiatt- Unissued GBR364

* 5 Shillings 1940-41 ND Emergency Issue P365 B253 ND (1941) 5/- Shillings Sign. K.O. Peppiatt- Unissued GBR365

I've submitted this issue to PMG for review and will be awaiting their reply, but I also wanted to send out this request for opinions from the Forum group, too.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  Please let me know if you agree or why I am wrong.  Again, my justification for the request for removal is that Unissued notes should not hold slots in an "Issued Notes" Registry set, such as this one is.

Best Regards,

Billy

I'm sure that they'll remove the unissued notes, that's been my experience at any rate. I don't like the removal of unissued notes unless PMG was to create a different set that included them, which they won't. Some unissued notes are readily available and in many people's collections some are not, or are only available as specimens, etc.. My vote would be to include unissued notes in the set registries but give them a 0 points value.

Very pleased to see this update. As I come across issues in the Bank of England sets, I have notified PMG, and they have corrected them once verified. 

Kind Regards

David

Thank you for your comment, David.

I have also asked PMG to created new registry sets to specifically separate out Bank of England notes from 1928-present (as opposed to only including them with the Great Britain 1902-Date "Master" set.  I am curious on your thoughts about having these additional Modern-Period Registry Sets.

Hi Billy,

I am supportive of a "Bank of England 1928-present set", because it would be a more affordable  set for new collectors to fully complete, as it  exclude some of the more expensive Treasury and White Banknotes.  

I know from previously asking PMG for a replacement set, that they are reluctant to have new sets when there is sufficient representation in existing sets.

Personally I think that more sets are better, as it increases the possibility to achieve full set coverage. In addition for some slots like p374, with 21 varieties from B281-B323, it's not possible to show examples of all varieties. It might however be that additional sets increases the workload for PMG, in having to synchronize slots across all sets. Maybe Ali can advise?

Kind Regards

David

David,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.  It's good to know that I am not alone in supporting a "Bank of England 1928-present" set.  Your comments on affordability are on the mark, in my opinion.  In my email to PMG outlining the benefits of a 1928-present set, I also brought up the outright lack of availability of many pre-World War I notes, the high denomination White Notes in particular.  Even if someone had a pile of unlimited cash to build a set, it may still be impossible to complete the 1902-present set, as most of the few surviving higher denomination notes reside only in museum collections.  Personally, I believe the collecting community would benefit from the creation of both a "Bank of England 1928-Present Type Set (issued Notes)" and a "Bank of England 1928-Present Type Set with varieties (Issued Notes)" to help improve set completion chances, affordability, and coverage of varieties (such as the p374 example).

In any event, I thank Ali and PMG for their help with and consideration of these requests.

Best regards,

Billy
