£10 note sells for £42.30 thanks to 'sought after' serial numbers
The polymer note’s repeated serial number and purple ink patch helped drive the price to more than four times face value, collectors said.
- On Sunday, March 22, a buyer purchased a rare £10 note on Ebay for £42.30, more than four times its shop value.
- The note's value surged due to its repeated serial number, 'DE10 300300', as patterns like "123123" or palindromes like "123321" are generally considered more valuable.
- Featuring Queen Elizabeth on the front and Jane Austen on the reverse, the note also exhibits a small patch of purple ink beneath the 'Ten Pounds' text.
- Although King Charles III notes were issued in 2024, banknotes featuring Queen Elizabeth remain legal tender, ensuring older designs with potential errors continue circulating.
- Brits checking their change for similar errors could find comparable value, as the Ebay listing described the note as a "highly sought-after collectible" for collectors.
