Title: Which prefix will be the better one?
Post by: cdn_guy on March 18, 2004, 05:23:33 pm

So Far we have heard of  EJA, EJE and BJY which one would you rather have and why?
I guess we won't know until a little bit later....

Unless you collect by prefix (yowzzza! 100's would be expensive!), each of the prefixes are equal in my eyes.

The first notes of a new series.... I cannot imagine why they wouldn't issue the full compliment for each prefix.

Seems EJE is better so far, it seems rare and only Dean got them, EJA seems pretty common, all the banks I went to had EJAs in their drawers.

My guess is that EJE is being used as inserts, but I can't prove or disprove that.  EJA and BJY appear to be being issued simultaneously.  I guess this marks the first time that both printing companies have simultaneously printed anything higher than the $20 note.

I think that any Journey $100 prefix beginning with printer letter "E" seems like the better ones.  I am getting kinda tired (yawn) of AJ*'s and BJ*'s - can't wait to see the EJ*'s come out to our neck of the woods soon.  All the new $100's out here in St. John's, NL have prefix BJY in the 3-Million range.  Even seeing BJY's above 3-Million would be great.  I have seen AJ*'s and BJ*'s for the past 20+ years - I think the CBN $100's will have the best prefixes yet.  There have never been any CBN printed $100's until just recently.

Contact 54Devs I believe he still has a few EJE's to get rid of and as of last night he was just gonna crumple them and pass them on.

Just a thought!  ::)

Well just for the record here in the far out north-west part of this great land we call home, I believe the BJY prefix would be just as good as the possible EJE Inserts I obtained here on this site.

The reason behind my opinion is that BJW is where the Bird series left off and the new Journey notes started from. I have only been able to get and or see notes in our banks ect... that have the EJA & EJB prefix. I would like to accquire a BJY that has a couple of zeros leading off the serial number similiar to the ones that were reported to be  around BJY 0024997.
But I havn't even seen anything remotely close to these ranges so I sit and keep wishing for the BJ*'s series to be released here. As far trying to accquire one of these from the great auctionhouse we know & love to hate, well for the price I'll just sit and wait to see if any come my way.
I love to search for replacements & / or inserts in the hobby of collecting notes and personally think the BJ* will be far fewer in circulation than the EJ*'S.
