<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Notaphylic_C, post: 24608955, member: 130786&quot;]They&#039;re specimens &amp; typically have serial number 000000 with the same initial prefix. Nothing special &amp; super overpriced IMO. Not sure why collectors go for these b/c they were a common series too. (Buying UNC 5 Pound specimens from <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note248218.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note248218.html" rel="nofollow">Southern Rhodesia</a> would make more sense to me).&nbsp; Specimens were used for bank training &amp; were never intended for circulation (always zero value). I guess if I was a bank executive I might be tempted.&nbsp; Issued replacements from this series were much more sought after by most collectors I know.&nbsp; Specimens are often sold to the public after the fact (like non circulating coins). Sellers can ask whatever they like &amp; that&#039;s what they tend to do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
