Title: Should I start? ? ?
Post by: kaindarren on April 21, 2009, 12:30:49 am

Should I start keeping uncirculated hundreds, fiftys and twenty of the journey series. What do you think.

I dont need fives becuase I have enough of them lol.  ;D

Well, I don't know if I should start keeping one of each or tons of them.

Should I keep tons of fifties and hundreds or one of each.

HELP !!! BEFORE ITS TOO LATE>  :) :) :) :)

THANKS

I would recomend that you go out and buy a a copy of
Canadian Government Paper Money 21st Edition: A Charlton Standard Catalogue

http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Canadian-Government-Paper-Money-21st-R-J-Graham/9780889683334-item.html?ref=Search+Books%3a+%2527charlton+paper%2527

BWJM might have an extra copy he is willing to sell.

This will help you determin what areas you should focus on. There is no point just hoarding notes if there is nothing special about them.

What you say is quite true. I have a copy but it is complicated to read in a way. There are numbers and more numbers and I get quite mixed up.

How does the Charlton Standard Catalogue help me determine what areas I should be focusing on.

I see it tells me the prefix for example on pg. 349 of the $10 issue (journey series) regular issue note category. The prefix is BEY Je- Do. So what it means is I could save any prefix with BEY.

But then under Sheet Replacement Note, I see there is also another BEY. same year etc. But it gives a different price range. This is where I get mixed up.

If you could explain it or any one else that is willing. It would be nice to understand the Charlton Catalogue.

Many Thanks

On the Journey notes it tells you a prefix and a certing range for notes.

Example: Je-Do, BEY (3.50-3.55) The numbers in the bracket is the range. So a $10 BEY note with serial number 3541754 would fall into that range.
(These ranges are not accurate, just an example)

Ohhh so the for example in the bracket it would be like (9.32 - 9.990) Would it be like 932000 up to 999999 or so?

Yes, But you would not go to 9999999 you would only go up to 9990000 (if the range went to 9.990)
