Friends: I have been unable to locate images of the Bank of Hamilton 1904 and 1909 $50 and $100 notes. Were these notes issued into circulation???
Any of you have any of these notes in your collections?? Thanks,
Bernard

These 1904 denomination are all institutionalized. I checked the currency museum and they do not have any photos of issued notes. Not to sound pesimistic but the chance of a collector having one of these is slim to none.
The 1909 $50 and $100 are known in grades from Good to VF. Yet again there are no picture of these in the museum.
The last 1909 $50 I have seen was on eBay a couple years back. I beleive it was owned by the Monetaryman. He usualy keeps all his scans but rarely visits this site.

As I understand your replies, the 1909 $50's and $100's did circulate but none is available in private hands and no images are available, neither of specimen notes nor of circulated notes, and the 1914 $50'a and $100's also circulated and a few notes are known in private hands but the only images available are of specimen notes.
My sincere thanks to all three of you. Bernard

Dear Bernard
Your interpratation is correct. Your next best bet would be to check sites such as Heritage Auctions. They carry an extensive photo gallery of all their past auctions. Many rare notes have gone through their hands
