News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

What  is  it  worth  and  what  is  the  range  for  *bm  no  fp/bp     cheers   polarbear

A 1954 $1 no-FPN, no-BPN *B/M 0000003 note would be worth a lot of money. Show it to me and I'll make an offer.

Yes it would.

After Brent is finished if you still own it I'd be happy to make you an offer.

No  i  typed  wrong,  sorry.  the  low  #   is  1954  5  dollar  0000003 .  i  wanted  the  range  for  *bm  no  fp/bp  #.  sorry  for  screw  up.

book for a 1954 low serial # 2 - 9 list as $190.00 (I assume that is UNC price)
hope that helps

I believe these are the ranges (no guarantees)
Lowest observed without FPN *B/M 0320855
Highest observed without FPN *B/M 0476595

It is also possible that some notes between 0.32M-0.48M do have the FPN. It seems that these particular missing FPN notes are rare and not easy to find.

The No FPN's are a sneaky bunch..
There are a lot of *BM Notes but almost every one you see has an FPN.

There was a No FPN that ended a week or so ago on E-Bay but I gave up bidding at $30 or so.  It appeared UNC.   The seller didn't list it as a No FPN but just a *BM Note.

I do have a *BM with No FPN and even better it is a Radar

It falls in the 0.32 to 0.47 Million range as well.

 I bet the number is *B/M 0419140 

How did you know.  Lol.. Yeah it was a good Deal I thought for the price I paid.

Yes it is *B/M 0419140

The note is prob only Mid VF Grade but..  its a triple combo note..

Replacement Note ,  Special (No FPN) and Radar

Were you watching that one on E-Bay and didn't get to bid?  I really didn't think I would win it that cheap.

PM sent.

Hey Roland,

The 1954 $5 note serial number 0000003 is at local coin shop. Tried to purchase it but it is only a VF+....

Can anyone shed some light or know if there has been anything published on how many *BM Notes do Not have an FPN?

ie: Approx number of *BM notes with No FPN?

I have read the Charlton info on how they got approval from the BOC to stop using Plate Numbers.. but then the RCMP said "Put them back please" but no infro on the approx numbers of No FPN notes were released.

Any insight would be great..

How much would you take, like right now for it?
PM me plz.
Just curious, but maybe purchasing mood.  LOL If you are in the selling mood.

Based upon the observed range, once could surmise that the *B/M no FPN run began at 0320001 and ended at 0480000.    Thus approx 160,000 should have been printed.

But i don't think all 160,000 have no FPN, in any case this is a hard one to find. I have been looking for one now since last year.
I think its just as rare as the 1954 $2-*A/G BELOW 4.0M... Now that one took me almost two years to find.
As for pricing of the *B/M No FPN, i feel that its still undervalued in the Charlton. It made its first listing in the 20Th edition of the charlton so perhaps we'll see big jumps in price in the next few editions.
It will be really interesting to see if anyone finds/owns any *B/M  No FPN outside the above mentioned range, Or any *B/M With FPN within the above range.

Hmmm..

Is it confirmed or does anyone know if the entire 0320001-0480000 range are all No FPNs?

If that is the case.. unless my math is wrong there would be only 160 Possible *BM No FPN Radars.

That is if the entire range is all No FPN.

The only ones without the FPN I've seen (and the few I have  ) are within the range.

Does anyone have any idea how many of the W/N,  T/M  and  U/M  without the FPN might have been printed?

How  about  the  ranges  of  t/m,  u/m  and  w/n  thanks   for  your  help.   polarbear
