    Could anyone with a more recent edition of the SCWPM please give me catalog values of this note? I have an old edition (9th), and I havent seen many completed listings on ebay (where I just won this in an auction). The top left and bottom right have some wrinkles, and there's a small stain on the back - but it seems to be VF++/XF to me. Thanks.

    Pick 342

    It is a note that I would not want to give an estimate of value on unless I personally examined it - there are people out there that flatten these notes - called pressed to "improve" them and all they end up doing is taking out whatever embossing(area raised from the original printing) existed on the note. British notes from this era are getting difficult to find if they are not messed with. Pressing doesn't destroy all the value, but it does hurt - and purists like me won't collect them.
