Title: Found FVP W-P in change at RCNA bourse
Post by: Rupiah on August 16, 2018, 06:54:53 pm

I made some transactions at the RCNA bourse. Part of the transaction I received several 20's in change.

There were two FVP W-P VF condition. I was rather surprised as I have not found them in circulation in the GTA.

I believe the vendor with whom I made the transaction was from Quebec. I am wondering if these were common in Quebec.

One person from Quebec was selling FVP W-P in VF condition for $60 about 6 months ago. Not sure if I got lucky or these are not worth more than face now in anything but UNC.

As part of my job, I've handled a few W-P FVP this spring, although most were in F-VF grade. The one I kept in my collection is EF.
I'm in Quebec, but I don't know if they are common here, or if I was just lucky...

I found 3 in the past year (not UNC but higher grade) so I don't think they were just released in Quebec (I'm in GTA area) & I don't think they should command much of a premium in F-VF.  But that was after several large 100X withdrawals (i believe I found most around the end of 2017 beginning of 2018).  So I took out several $1000 to find them.

My suspicion is that some collector brought these to the RCNA to see if he/she could trade or sell them.  When the person discovered no interest, or saw something they wanted to buy, they used them.  I have to confess that I have done this many times and used either older circulated inserts/radars or UNC currency that I was holding (then found to be common/so they were used in a purchase).

I have come across these notes since the SNDB has gone down.  I have been logging notes to a notepad file until the SNDB is back up.  By not having the database, i didn't even realize these were the changeover notes.  Hopefully they get it back up soon.

FVP 0730123 46 46
FVP 1994798 12 12
FVP 2170930 31 31
FVP 9469086 46 46

Just to clarify- the above notes are with the Macklem/Carney M-C signature combination & are quite common (not the Wilkins-Poloz (W-P) signature which is what this thread is about)

I have also recorded a large number of the first M-C signature combination notes in the SNDB.

That is the note this thread is about.  Notes with SN above 8964000 will have the W-P signatures (& are the change-over).  I believe the numbers are spread out but not sure what type of ranges were released (when the SNDB went down).

I'm in Thunder Bay and according to my own data I have found two FVP9- so far, one in May and one in July. With this small quantity, I feel like I can say with confidence that none were released in the Thunder Bay-Winnipeg region, and the two I've found found their way to me by hitchhiking in wallets. :p
