I`ve posted about the new series that are about to be released by Bank of Israel and today I got a bunch of 50s from my bank. They were officially released 6 days ago. I struggled quite a lot to get the UNC colored large portrait US banknotes (I`m not from US), so I`d like to offer a special deal to CT members who are interested in the new 50 NIS. Don't know if there will be any interest at all, but thought I should offer. Today's exchange value for 50 NIS is $13.67. Currently they are going on eBay for $20 to $23 in average, lowest sold that I found was $19.50, these prices do not include the shipping fee. I am offering them for $17 a piece, plus $3.50 shipping fee, a total of $20.50 for 1 banknote. Tracking number included. I got the 004* and 005* series serial numbers, on eBay I see the 006* and 1* serials. There is a chance I got the lower numbered pieces that might grow in value in the future as 1st release. Multiple consecutive bills available. Banknotes are fresh from the print, smell like paint, pretty much untouched by bank cashier (counted in a machine) and definitely untouched by me, look like Superb Gem Unc 69 or even 70. I am also willing to trade for older US coins/banknotes of approximately same value. Interested in silver, old copper, sets, and other things, so just send a message. Some information from the official website: Portrait: Shaul Tchernichovsky. Dominant color: green. Size: 71 × 136 mm. Face design: portrait of the poet on the background of a citrus tree with fruits. Back design: Corinthian style column and lines from Shaul Tchernichovsky’s poem “I believe”. Feature for the blind: two pair of lines located in the lower margin of the banknote, on the left and right hand sides. Date of issue: September 2014.
