Title: 1986 5 Dollar Bills
Post by: ESF on February 18, 2009, 07:25:38 pm

I have collected mint condition paper money for the last 30 years only because when I received money from the bank teller in this condition, I did not have the heart to spend it. I have finally got around to putting them in a plastic sleeve and binder. I was curious to see if I had anything special so I went to the library to check out the value of my Canadian paper currency with the Charlton price guide book. Here is what I found:

1986 5 Dollar Bill: Bonin-Theissen GOT5825347 (Book Price: $750)
Are you kidding me? Who would pay for this?

1986 5 Dollar Bill: Crow-Bouey EOH6610378 (Book Price: $400 to $775)
This bill has a couple of faint creases. Again, who would pay for this?

Is there a market for these kinds of notes or what?

By the way, I also have the following:
1986 2 Dollar Bill: AUK7820275 (Book Price: $110)

Thanks for your input. ESF.

Your GOT is actually only worth $10.00 in Unc.. only notes with a serial numbers between 7720000 and 7740000 are worth $750.00

Thank you Scott for your reply. I re-checked the Charlton price guide and saw the notation (Between 7.720M and 7.740M). I thought that meant how many of the banknotes were printed. D'Oh!

By the way, I attended my first Torex show today. I even sold my 5 dollar bill with the EOH prefix for $100. This made my day.
