How to spot a ‘rare’ £50 note and the serial numbers that could be worth hundreds

This £50 note with an early serial number on it was sold for £78 recently on eBay

But other notes with early serial numbers have gone for much higher.

Back in 2017, an AA01 £5 note sold on eBay for over £60,000.

But we haven’t seen any notes sold for as high as this in more recent times.
