Title: BC-21d 1937 Coyne-Towers $1 4 digit radar
Post by: Fenian on April 21, 2007, 01:03:04 am: Hi all. I just picked up this 1937 $1 radar note and was wondering how much it might be worth. Note is AU, any markings are on the holder.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Fenian

CDN $200. Using an 80% multiplier for an AU grade, this note would have a catalogue value of CDN $160.

As high grade 1937 radars are not very common, I would suspect that you could realize a higer sale
price for this note from a fancy number collector.

I'm not sure what this has to do with a 1937 radar but two consecutive notes with different signatures (changeover notes) are withheld for the National currency museum and can be seen in Ottawa there. I think that they keep the last two and the first two of each signature.
