Title: HBG $5 Macklem/Carney
Post by: Kelly b. on March 25, 2015, 12:09:35 pm
Hello Members:

I was extremely lucky yesterday and pulled SIX HBG notes out of an ATM machine.  As we all know, this is a short-run prefix and I am offering five of these notes for sale;  HBG 1331508-09, HBG 1323914-15.

I grade them as Gem Unc UNC (hologram windows have scratches) and I will stand behind that grade; I am asking $50  $20 each.  Email if interested

Shipping is $2 Canadian for standard mail via Canada Post.   Registered Mail via Canada Post is $15.
     
I will accept personal cheque, money order, PayPal (non-credit card payments via PayPal) or Email money transfers. 

Kelly

Hi Friedsquid.

There are vertical lines parallel with the hologram on all notes and a couple of them have other bunches of scratches.  I'm guessing by your pointed question that I am not up on Polymer grading standards.  I have been "away" from the hobby for over a year.  Do these lines and scratches drop the grade, and if so, by how much?  Anyone that has dealt with me in the past knows I truly stand behind my grades and I would appreciate your knowledge in this matter so I don't cause myself embarrassment with future trades and deals.

To answer Tristan, I know a Credit Union that still spits out fives... and I will keep the specifics to myself.  :)
