Title: Just saying hello
Post by: phillyosk on August 11, 2011, 03:06:22 pm: Hi there,

I just joined your site and wanted say hello.

I am an avid collector of many things from antiques to sports cards to bank notes which i inherited from my dad who also had that itch for 65 years. I just wanted to potentially do some trading and selling on here, mostly of bank notes.

I have two items that i really dont know too much about and maybe someone could shed some light on them for me. I have a 1912 dominion of canada 5 dollar bill in F and a 1872 bank of a acadia 4 dollar bill in F as well. my father purchased them 20 years ago at jeff hoare auction and I was curious to see if they have much value.

Phil

The 1912 $5 train note is a fairly scarce issue. They are valued at between $1,200-2,000 in F grade pending which variety you have.
Hope this helps

I believe the note i have swims in the shallow end of the range as it is a c-1 which is apparently the most common of the bills. Love the train vignette none the less.

That depends... On your note, above the Hyndman signature (signature on left side) is it written "Countersigned"? If thats the case then you have one of the more scarcer varieties. If there is no "countersigned" then indeed you have the most common variety.
