William
M. Rosenblum of Littleton, Colo., is now offering the first of a
series of mail-bid sales offering Israeli, Palestine, Holocaust and
Judaic numismatic material from the Philadelphia Collection.
The
first sale closes Dec. 4.
This
first auction includes an extremely rare printer’s specimen for a
100-Palestine-pound note issued by the Palestine Currency Board dated
30TH, SEPTEMBER, 1929. The note is punched with three cancellation
holes instead of being perforated with the word “CANCELLED.”
On
the face in the upper right margin in pen is the notation “65/1.”
The
note is graded by the firm as About Uncirculated, and some green
stains, indicating the note was probably removed from the press before
the ink was dry, are noted in the lot description. Tracing of mounting
can be seen on the back. The piece has an estimate of $45,000-plus.
According
to Rosenblum this is “the finest collection” of such items that he’s
“offered in our 44 years in specializing in these items.”
For
more information about the collection, visit Rosenblum’s
website, or email
him. Telephone the firm at 720-981-0785.
