The HongKong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, pair of progressive proofs $500 cut from a unique sheet, ND (1978-83), brown and green underprint, coat of arms at left, reverse brown and multicolour, old HSBC building at left, lion head at right, printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. Limited,
(Pick 189r), PMG 66EPQ Gem Uncirculated, and in holder no grade, the highest grade for type in the PMG census, with only 10 other examples on record! 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. Rare, a must-have for any serious collector of vintage Hong Kong banknotes. (2)


1978-1983年匯豐銀行伍佰圓樣票一對，無日期，前者評PMG 66EPQ，後者裝封PMG套，評級報告中僅有10枚，而此品更是冠軍分。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
