Lot 5510		Austria SCWPM# 134a, 2.1.1953 500 Schilling. PCGS Gem New 65PPQ.

He particularly sought higher denomination notes, and his foresight has paid off as many of these notes are seldom seen (if not unheard of) in high grades.

Lot 5549		Denmark SCWPM# 38i, 1953 50 Kroner. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ. This is the first of two consecutive examples that were saved at the time of issue. It is perhaps the finest example in existence of not only the 1953 issue, but the entire design type from 1944 to 1954. Not a single additional uncirculated example has been graded by either PCGS or PMG of any of the Pick #38 subvarieties, making this by far the finest graded by either service. It possesses flawless paper surfaces, complete originality, ample margins, and incredible eye appeal. The Krause catalog lists a value of $1900 in "uncirculated" for this note, however we suspect that this valuation will prove to be very conservative for a high grade certified note that knows no equal. Estimated Value $2,000 - 3,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,438
Lot 5550		Denmark SCWPM# 38i, 1953 50 Kroner. PCGS Choice About New 58. A second example, consecutive to the last, and near uncirculated save for a corner bend and some minor handling. The "PPQ" designation is prevented by a single (probably as-made) inclusion in the paper. Nearly equal to the previous note in terms of basic eye appeal, and likely to cost a bit less. Estimated Value $800 - 1,200. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,265
Lot 5551		Denmark SCWPM# 39j, 1953 100 Kroner. PCGS Gem New 65PPQ. A simply magnificent Gem, with outstanding eye appeal and technical merit combined to create a stunning piece of currency. This is the single finest 100 Kroner note of all of the 1944 to 1960 series graded by PCGS Currency to date. It is consecutively serial numbered to the note offered next, and it actually falls second in numerical order although being higher grade. The Krause Standard Catalog gives a value of $500 in "UNC" for this note; expect a more healthy realization when the hammer falls with collectors and dealers alike recognizing that high grade certified examples command a premium in today's market. Estimated Value $700 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $978
Lot 5552		Denmark SCWPM# 39j, 1953 100 Kroner. PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ. A lovely high grade example that has a single light bend, otherwise it appears fully Gem New. It is first of a consecutive pair, the second of which is the Gem example offered in the lot prior to this one. Estimated Value $250 - 350. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $334
Lot 5553		British Caribbean Territories SCWPM# 7c, 2.1.1958 1 Dollar. PCGS Extremely Fine 45PPQ. Fr-7c. This bright and crisp example is flawless save for a few light folds. Estimated Value $50 - 75. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $35
