(x) The HongKong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, pair of progressive proofs $5 cut from a unique sheet, $5, ND (1959-75), brown on pale green and orange underprint, reclining maiden at right, coat of arms at centre, reverse brown and multicolour, bank building at centre, printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. Limited,
(Pick 181r), PMG 66EPQ Gem Uncirculated, and in holder no grade, only 4 of this type on record in the PMG population report, with this example being one of two! Note that Bradbury Wilkinson are not known to produce remainders and these notes were cut from 'pre-final production' proofs sheets that were created for final approval from the printer and HSBC. Hence they are NOT remainders or printing remnants as designated by PMG. Exceedingly rare, a must-have for any serious collector of vintage Hong Kong banknotes. (2)


1959-1975年匯豐銀行伍圓樣票一對，無日期，前者評PMG 66EPQ，後者裝封PMG套，評級報告中僅有另外3枚，而此品更是兩枚冠軍分之一。雖然被PMG定性為庫存票，但印刷商布拉德伯里威爾金森公司一貫以來沒有庫存票流出，而此品乃從量印前予匯豐銀行審批之最後原張樣票裁剪出來，值得留意，進階香港紙鈔藏家必收
