Title: Your Recent Finds
Post by: Sonicwolf on July 18, 2006, 03:20:21 am
Just An Idea ive had, I was thinking that this topic could be used for posting some interesting things that have been aqquired in change recently.

For me the most interesting thing recently was an EF 1979 20$ Thiessen Crow out of a Local 7-11 CIBC ATM. The next would be an AU 1989 10$ Bonin-Thiessen, Not that its really worth much, Its just odd to find Birds of Canada ten's in that condition anywhere where I live.

Are you including radars and recent Journey notes or just older bills?

Someone came to buy coffee at my store and paid with a 1971 Crow/Bouey $10 bill today :D that made my day! Prefix FDB, in Fine-VF condition.

Hey There,

I saw a GREAT one last week!

A friend of my wife's Dad had his Lucky note in his wallet.... ;)

It was an early Journey $5 that was 7777777

HE said he does not go anywhere without it. It was in VG at best but I was stunned. I didn't look at it long enough to catch the prefix.... I am sure it was AO?

I was just stunned I was looking at a Solid Digit caught in Circulation!  :o

I got BET0850498 VG in circulation in Vancouver a few months ago.  I don't think very many BET saw circualation much further west than Ottawa.

You know, I gotta stop using my debit and credit cards all time. The last time I got real cash is returning a pile of refundable containers and got a $10 BTC0975525 in EF. I may really find something if I start using money for what it was intended for.  ;D

I first started collecting paper money when I was 15 years old and working at a car wash.  Back in the 70's a carwash cost $2.00 ($3.00 with a wax), so I used to see tons of $1.00/$2.00.   I actually was intrigued with the idea of keeping old money becuase the 1954's were being phased out, and we had the new (very cool) multi-colored issue.  At the carwash... (and after seeing hundreds of notes) all I found was one $1.00 radar, an *C/F and a bunch of raggy $1/$2 and $20.  A few years later on another job, I found an *R/E 1974 $2.00 (AU) and 3 raggy asterisk $1.   :-/  However, I really didn't know what to look for like I know now.

My point is:  I've been looking for rare notes for a long time, and I never find low numbers, million numbered, and just a few radars.  For a short time I started searching notes (100 to 1000 at a time), and then I could only find 1 or 2 ratty BEK's, no BEL's and 1 2004 BER that was covered in grease.  

If you find something - COUNT yourself VERY LUCKY!

I watched Polar Bear, BWJM, and Oli get some great "finds" by just doing very thorough searches at a few shows too.  I thought it couldn't be done (because of my own lousy luck) but have found a few "not bad" finds myself (not like BWJM's test note mind you!)

My most recent find was a VF 2 digit (not a radar) 2004 BEY change-over from circulation.  I can relate to "Punky'sDad"

Post by: Oli1001 on October 26, 2006, 07:18:49 pm
Don't be so quick to count yourself out James, remember that 1937 $2 note you picked up (I believe it was a changeover) at the last show I saw you at? Not a bad find there.

Well I can say I am a bit lucky I got this today out of a ATM. Its a replacement note.

Post by: CJ_Sidewall on November 12, 2006, 12:48:09 pm
This was purchase, not a find, but I thought it was worthy of a mention.  I bought it because of the "8888" and because it happened to be 2 notes away from a 2-digit radar and only 5 notes away from a rotator.  This note was once it good company, I wonder where the radar and rotator are? :'(

{http://www.geocities.com/cj_sidewall/banknotes/Shiplaster688884.JPG}

FYI:  This was purchased at the travelling Antiques show now at Cloverdale Mall (427 & Dundas).  Accidently stumbled across the show while buying food.  They are there the first full week in March and November annually.  Two paper dealers, I've looked through everything, nothing too exciting.  Lots of china and silverware though.

You brick hunters are very efficient and thorough.  I have not found anything in years.  Not radars, not repeaters, not low-number notes, you name it.  Good work.  ;)

Maybe when I DO finally find something, it will be a doozy, like that run of consecutive mismatched serials number $50 notes from another thread.
Your not alone! I always pay in cash for all my purchases but i never find anything either anymore. I was lucky on a few occasions though years back. I did find my EVH Missing BPN in change and i have also found a 1969 *WF $20, too bad it wasn't the scarcer *WL! I have always been lucky with the birds $20s, managed to find all the X replacements from the bank machine and also managed to find a bunch of AIWs (With serifs I) too and all other missing BPN prefixes.

.... I bought it because of the "8888" and because it happened to be 2 notes away from a 2-digit radar and only 5 notes away from a rotator.
I have often wondered whether or not "near miss" radars, "near miss" rotators, "near miss" ladders and the like have any premium value over regular number notes. My feeling has always been that "a miss is as good as a mile". It's like owning a lottery ticket that is just one number away from the winning prize. However, as true radars, true rotators and true ladders become scarcer and scarcer (on account of increased demand) then perhaps a lower-level market will develop for the "near misses".

Has anyone ever paid good money for a "near miss"?  :-/
Title: Re: Your Recent Finds
Post by: Mikeysonfire on November 13, 2006, 09:03:33 am
I don't think people would pay more for "near miss" numbers. Only if they are Fancy numbers like 7777776. But if its a number like 4987824. They will not pay more.

I was very close to a rotator last week. HPA 6968269  :'(

I think your assessment is correct and that the near-miss # collecting is a recent phenomenon prompted more by online marketing (ie eBay and the like).

And besides that would make it a near hit. Not a near miss. If it nearly missed, isn't that really a hit? :-?

I think its interesting that there is this young "budding market." And:  you're right-  a near hit like being one number off winning the "jackpot" (a fancy number, near radar), the Lotto 6/49 for those more exciting near solid/ladders I guess!  

Being near the "bulls-eye" is part of the appeal I'm sure.  There is another thread which has posted a $2 Birds # 5432101 which is almost like a descending ladder with an ascending "step."   I have to say that I find what people collect (or find interesting/appealing), is in itself interesting... There's many a forum member here who've I've talked this over with many a time.

Ottawa, you are right, a miss is a miss.  Like the old saying: "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades".

Like I mentioned before, I only bought this note because of the "8888" and the fact it was a few notes    away from a radar and a rotator.  I paid book for the note, but had it been any other random serial number I would not have purchased the note.

If given the choice between a random and a fancy serial number (at the same price), I'd definitely take a fancy number.  I may even pay slightly more for a fancy number, but no where close to the premiums for radars, ladders or rotators.  A miss is just that, a miss.

I leave you now with some near misses near hits ( ;D) that have passed through my hands ..... sigh .....  :'( >:( :'(

Note is now owned by a fellow CPMF member who could appreciate it more than I could.

I can attest to the note's beauty.   ;) ;D

Very rarely do you see solid radars in the $50 and $100 denomination in any condition, especially in UNC.  I have only seen one Journey $100 7777777 in VF-EF offered for sale once on the forum, and one well circulated 1975 $100 5555555 found by a fellow forum member.  I have never seen a solid $50 in any denomination (until now).

8888888 Hey...now that's some note.

I can see sometime in the future some Chinese Canadian note collector will offer to buy that with many bucks. The number 8 is very, very popular in Chinese tradition and the fact that the note is a nice red is also very symbolic in chinese culture. Wealth, prosperity, and wisdom.

I have had several bricks and I could see Inserts sitting right on top. Good feeling when making the pickup!  :D

Good day today.  
The Hanwell Horton's coughed up two familiar $5.00 banknotes (HOZ and HPA).  I went to pay for purchase elsewhere and YIKES the HOZ was a four digit radar (HOZ0352530). :o  I had it in my hand and was ready to pay.  How stupid would that have been.  

Also received an EYY9792513 $20.00 insert this morning as well. :)

The number 9000009 is a radar but not a swims or rotator. The number 9000006 would be a swims or rotator. Some people on this site get really crazy when this type of number is called swims they would rather have it called a rotator. I think swims is more appropriate but one name should be choosen. A swims number looks the same when flipped over.

Found a crisp unc HOH 9823504 in a book at the library today.
Funny thing is that the book was about collecting world coins.
Think I will go back tomorrow and see if any more bookmarks were left behind in the other books.

That library card was the best investment I made. Oh yeah. It was FREE.

While I'm reviving some old threads here is one that I always liked to have a look at to see what folks were turning up.


About 2 months ago I pulled some cash out of and ATM at a TD Bank on Don Mills Road. Got 2-50 Inserts

FMI 9871729-30. I should have made another withdrawl to try an get more because they are $ 225.00 in the 20th edition

I don't know if this would really be considered a "find" since I never received any of these bills in change, but I thought I would post anyways.
I was at my bank today and the teller said "I was just thinking about you" I asked why and she told me they just had a bunch of old 100's deposited in the atm. I asked to see them and found 7- 1937 $100's, a 1954 devil's face 100, and a bunch of 2's and 1's. Needless to say I bought them all.
Nothing of interest in the ones, but I found 2 consecutive AUL's in ef+ and 2 consecutive AUK's in au.
Not a bad bunch of notes for face value I must say:)

Hi,

I decided to pay a visit to the big banks in downtown Toronto this afternoon.  At the Bank of Nova Scotia, the teller was able to give me the following notes:

1954 $100 B/J2697067 nice and clean EF

1954 $50 B/H3741505 Nice clean EF; minor crease in centre and edge fold in bottom right corner with residual black ink in margins on back.

1954 $20 B/W4118137 VF; 3 creases and some rippling but bright and clean

1954 $10 S/V 7644254 F; creasing and some minor edge trauma.

The teller also gave me:

3x US $2 series 1976
6x Birds $2 "spenders"
4x 1973 $1 "spenders"

a very good day in the "hunt" for notes!  I always feel like it's a treasure hunt...sometimes you get nothing sometimes they surprise you!

cheers,
Dean

I have been hunting for years and finally found a 1954 $50 solid radar.  In fact, this is the first one that I
have ever seen.  The note is original CUnc with a minor counting flick.  Based on technical details there is
a possibility of only 16 x 1954 $50 modified solid radars.  The note was purchased privately in BC by a collector
over 20 years ago and I was able to obtain it in a trade.  Lucky 7s !!!  ;D

I have seen a number of the 1954 $1 A/O mismatched serial number notes but unfortunately I don't have one.

You wouldn't believe how many rocks I have to look under before I find the notes I want in UNC.  Fortunately
I am patient enough to wait for those nice Unc notes to surface.  They are out there but very elusive.  This
particular note was part of a collection that dates back over 20 years and was probably acquired when these
notes were still in circulation.

and within the last month or so, got 2 SNR $5 from work.  (at a gas station were I still work the occasional weekend shift for extra spending cash, and the occasional "bonus money" like these).  These two circulated notes will be on a well known auction site soon.

Hi,

Today, a teller friend of mine let me look through all of the banknotes he was going to return to the BOC.

I chose to take:
1 Birds $1000 EKA2228667 EF
10 1979 $5 (They're spenders but it's my favourite multicoloured note)
10 1973 $1
2 1954 $1 (Modified)
4 1974 $2

There were many I had to leave behind  :(
Sometimes you hit the jackpot.

Note: A card with some well thought out thoughts will go even farther.

Someone who was on the inside once told me.....

Coffee and donuts -- in particular -- are "flags" that someone might be trying to swoon the bankers to get standards relaxed (so of course they could commit something awful).


Thus the recommendation of the card.... with some honest thankful thoughts.

Just found  an unusual $100 with a clipped top left corner and a blurred serial number.

I would suggest that the blur is the result of a chemical stain. In fact, it would be interesting to conduct a scientific study to determine the effects of various corrosive chemicals on paper money ..... nitric acid, sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, turpentine, Javex, lacquer removers, paint strippers, etc. I'm pretty sure that some chemicals would do major damage to the printed design, and some may even dissolve the paper too ...
Title: Re: Your Recent Finds
Post by: Hudson A B on January 20, 2008, 08:36:27 pm
To me, it appears as though there was a petrolium based spot that ended up on the paper- perhaps a dripped grease from an overhead maching while the paper was being fed through for its initial/secondary print run?

Or, one of the workeers was snacking on his KFC while doing quality control inspection on the streaming paper, and he leaned over and, well, you know how greasy that chicken is... some dropped.

I'm just wondering what grades these notes would be assigned. I'm only a junior collector. My guess is that the $20 is VF+- EF and the 10 would be also be VF. I also had an idea for having a registry for 1969 $20 *WL because i haven't heard at all a *WL arising at an auction, or seen one at a dealer. Thanks, Multicolorama.

Depends on where you work and your boss- It took me a year before he would let me replace notes in the till- it can be a HUGE trust issue for employers to see you removing cash from the till.

A Beattie-Rasminsky 1954 $1 asterick S/O at the George Manz auction in Regina for $25.00.  The note is an unc with nice embossing with a tight right margin being the only demerit.  The width of the note is also 1/32 of an inch less than average. The note may have been trimmed but there is no apparent reason why such a small amount would have been trimmed.  Perhaps it's a note from the edge of the sheet.  The serial number is 0184327.  Does any one know (and is it knowable) where the note was located on the sheet?

Thanks for any response.

My guess is yes it would be printed on the edge of the sheet. Left or Right Side, not sure.

Beattie/Rasminsky notes should be printed 1961-1971. From 1956 to 1968, notes were printed in sheets of 32, from 1968 on they were printed in sheets of 40.

If note 0184327 was printed on a sheet of 32, the position should  be seventh row, first column (G1), left side of sheet. If printed on a sheet of 40, the position should be, fifth row, fifth column (E5), right side of sheet.

You sure are lucky to find one. There aren't very many around. I believe they are about equally as rare as the *FH. Did you pay more than the value listed in charlton. Currently the *FH in the same grade is selling around $1,500... i would assume *AA is trending around the same.? Just curious... would just love to add one to my collection.

I hope this fits the criteria of "any response"  ;)

I've seen a lot of poorly-centred 1954 asterisk notes.  It's probably the norm because the replacement sheets are not always perfectly in alignment with the normal sheets.  Many asterisk notes that appear to have been trimmed are probably not, but that's not actually important.  A note with a tight margin will appear to be trimmed, and that will knock down the value because of the aesthetics.  Most people can't tell a trimmed edge from an original edge.  There's no logical reason why someone would trim a note down almost to the design because that's a worse impediment to value than, say, an unsharp corner.  TPGs might feel differently, but that's my take.

Nice. The truth is I'm note big on matching serial numbers. I had the $50 then i was offered the $100. I was excited that it was $100 note and given the notes condition you don't see  tons of these but i was disappointed i already had that number. I'm thinking of selling or possibly trading the $50. Worst case is I have a matching set.  ;D

Found these two notes consecutively...

$100 EJF 6421088
$100 EJF 8221088

The last 5 digits are identical.  The position numbers are also the same on both notes (43/38).  This is when I realized that these two notes are EXACTLY 5 reams apart (5 x 360,000 = 1.8 million) since CBN notes are printed skip-8,000 and 45/on.

Coincidence? Almost certainly.  Both notes are circulated.

What type of error does this count as? It technically isn't a misplaced serial since only one digit is shifted, but it also doesn't count as a Partial Digit Serial Number because the entire 4 is showing and no other number is.

Thanks.  It came completely by fluke (& trust me, I rarely have luck finding such "keepers"). 

I wanted to buy a 6/49 ticket and then said "give me $4.00 quick pick Lottario" to top it off to $10 worth of tickets even.  The cashier put the Lottario through before the 6/49.  I gave her a $20 (always looking for change) but the 6/49 card got jammed so she couldn't enter my numbers (nor give me $10 change).  So I said "fine" just give me the $16.00 and that was the five she handed back to me.  Initially, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.  ???

Found this binary note (the computer terminology type with 1 and 0)

{http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/6931/hps1001011binarynumbero.jpg:http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/6931/hps1001011binarynumbero.th.jpg}

Is there any collector interest in such notes? Is there any value beyond face?

The teller at my bank sold me a 1954 $100 yesterday.

SN:  C/J 1805688

It has writing on the back of it, so it's a spender but it is still nice to know that these notes can be obtained from circulation.

This is one of the error $10 bills that were printed on $20 paper. If you look at the holographic strip you can see that it is for a $20 bill, and if held to the light the Queen's face appears in the window.

I had gone through a few thousand dollars worth of 10s looking for one... an awesome find!

Notice the "A" in the left hand side of the $100 bill...It appears black when photographed, not red.  Was this a security feature of the multicoloured notes?

Every so often you get lucky and find a hidden gem on eBay or being offered by a US online auction house.

I found this scarce note on eBay this week.  It was listed in the Coins & Paper Money>Paper Money: US>Small Size Notes>Federal Reserve Notes category.

It was being sold by a US coin and currency dealer out of Spokane, WA as AU+ (no folds but some handling). 

Charlton catalogue lists highest grade as AU.  Paid USD $250.00 (Best Offer).

Happened to be at the teller for the first time in almost 2 years doing a simple funds transfer.

At the counter beside me, someone was turning in a pile of old notes (noticed the 1954 $20 on top) - the teller was asking "is this Canadian money"? Immediately I stepped in and offered to exchange the notes off the customer.

There was $83 in the pile, 1x1954 $20, 1x1954 $10 (DF), 1x1954 $10, 1x1954 $5, 1x1954 $2, 2x1974 $2, 8x1986 $2, 2x1937 $1, 2x1954 $1, 12x1973 $1.

Nothing remarkable in the pile (the 1954s and 1937s were in rough shape), but still a cool find at the bank by pure coincidence! (I've never gotten 54s or 37s from a bank before)

The teller at my bank is a nice guy who saves cool things for me. Found me a 1975 $100 a few days ago - not very good shape but I am not a picky collector.

The guy who counts money at my work knows that I like cool old bills so whenever he gets bird bills he calls me over and I get to trade out for them. Found a lot of 20s and 100s that way, a few fifties but mostly those two. Actually got this one on Friday - someone actually spent this at a store in 2016. I'm not complaining, though:

http://i.imgur.com/PQw45Mj.jpg

That could go under near misses, too. I swear I've had at least 10 bills in the last three days that were almost-radars with the final digit wrong.

Yeah, they're in pretty good shape. Some of them have minor bends (unfortunately, I had to walk around with them all day before I could lay them to rest at home) but I'm hoping a few months in a safety deposit box will flatten them back, haha. Those EBJs also came with a bunch of uncirculated EBKs but the serials are a little less aesthetically pleasing (some missing bills in the middle) for 58 of them in total.
