The M/P prefix came right after the 1967 commemorative issue so presumably wouldn't have been issued until late '67 or early '68. Your eyes are better than mine though because that stamp just looks like a blue smudge to my eyes.

October 31st dind:
I bought this ratty old $1 for face value for the stamp on it. I think it says Aug 17 1964, but I could be wrong.
What do you think?

October 31st finds and mail call.
I picked up some rolled coins today, and while the finds were few, the dimes contained silver! A 1960 and a 1962 dime to be exact…
A package of notes arrived in the mail today. Why would I buy such low grade notes? Well, one of them is a 1979 $5 replacement note and the other has an interesting stamp on it.
Enjoy!

I'm still open for offers on my Bank of Canada duplicates (priced in CAD) & World notes (priced in USD).
October 30th:
Finds from an old album?
I purchased these two shinplasters because of the hand written names and messages on them. One of the notes is the 1900 issue and it has the name H. Pauline Erb written in pencil, the date July 22nd 1922 and “21 years old (overwritten 22 as if it was a mistake).
“Good Luck” is also written on the bottom margin.
The 1923 shinplaster is also miscut; see the imprint of the adjoining note on the front.
The second note has the inscription Ross Erb Sept 25th 1933.
On the bottom margin, it is inscribed Aunt Evlyn Uncle Ben
These notes have appropriate dates that match the issue that would have been in circulation at the time and they must have come out of a family album.
Enjoy!

October 30th finds:
I went to one of my banks today and the teller offered me some $1 and $2 notes. One of the $2s has a neat serial number, composed of only 8s and 7s, and another one of the $2s has serial numbers that are slightly out of register.
While I was there, I decided to ask for customer wrapped coins and I got a few dime rolls plus $100 in quarters.
Stay tuned for the result…

Update:
There wasn’t much in these coin rolls aside from a few shiny commemoratives, some King Charles 2023 quarters and 85 cents worth of US coins.
I hope I get some silver soon…but as they say, you’ll never find anything if you don’t keep looking.

The 2024 King Charles nickels, quarters and dimes are abundant in Toronto.Same here in montreal. All widely available in all denominations.
The 2023 King Charles coins were only minted in a very small quantity and I also read comments about 2023 coins minted with the late Queen's portrait still engraved on them. Due to the limited run, the 2023 Charles coins are the most sought after by collectors and are likely worth a lot of money.
I don't even know what coins I get in my change these days, especially since I went cashless for most of October.

Oct 26th:
I received this birds $2 from Claude. On the front it reads “BOB FROM MOM” and on the back it says either “DEARY” or “DEBBY 1989”.
I also noticed that this note is cut slightly out of register. Under normal circumstances, would the tilt be enough for the note to carry a premium?
Pretty neat!

Week of October 20th finds, part 2:
More pictures of my finds from this week…I just noticed that one of the birds $50s has some offset ink on the back. Would you keep it or send it back?
Enjoy!
