Title: banknote bundles
Post by: Dean on March 29, 2009, 12:04:27 pm
Hi,
I've had these bundles in my possession for a while.  I got them at work (from the cash office)

2006 issue AOM2201200-99 in BOC original paper band

2002 issue HOV6074844-6074943  In white band-not original BOC.  This bundle seems to have "warped"  The notes have curled at the top right where the Canadian flag is

Other bundles I have:
1973 $1 ECP8001300-99 Paper band marked May 11 1989 from CIBC
1986 $2 CBG7448300-399...This one is an "assembled" bundle...The teller insisted on manually counting these notes and proceeded to rip the original banding...so I made my own replacement band.

Are they worth keeping?

Also, on a related question:  Are bundles in general worth collecting?  I've seen a few in the past, most notably a $2 1954 modified bundle about 10-12 years ago that was being sold for $1200
Thanks,
Dean

Hi Dean

the budles that you have don't have any increased value .  They look like regular issue notes and probally have only a little above face value for them (journey $5)  There is a 4 digit repeater  in AOM 2201220. 

HOV bundle if I am not mistaken is pre-security strip.  Maybe you can sell them on an auction website and get a little more for them.

ECP was a full run
CBG was also a full run
These two you can keep or sell.  nothing special I can see

Hope this helps.
