Post by: polarbear on July 11, 2006, 02:57:50 am

Ok here we go.  Just found a 1964 Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins, tokens and Paper money(12th) edition that my father had.  Let's test out some trivia.... Heck this book is in Unc. Wish I had some of the notes in unc.  Ha Ha....

Question 1.  
How much was a 1935 King George V Bank of Canada first issue valued at  in Unc?  English text(BC-1)

Question 2.
Osborne-Towers $50 bill (BC-26a) valued at in Unc?

Guesses welcomed and the answers will be given Tomorrow.

Happy guessing

For Question 1: $5.00
For Question 2: $200.00

Are you going to tell us what the UNC 1935 French and English $500 notes were going for in 1964, and should we be seated before we read the answer?  Let me guess: $1,000 for the English and $1,500 for the French?  :o
