AL-Bob:  On behalf of my daughter, thank you very much!

(I bought this birthday bank note from Hudson about 20 years ago, then passed to my daughter as a gift.  She told me the note was lost by her mom after cleaning / organize her bedroom for the niece to live and study in Vancouver when she studying in U of Calgary)

Have a good day.

TOREX is located too far out of the way for a growing number of collectors who do not (or can no longer) drive a car.  In its current location by the airport, TOREX is not close to the TTC subway line and many people are not willing to spend hours travelling by bus to get to the venue.

That's me: I wouldn't drive out there to pay for parking & then to pay to go into see dealers wanting to sell you overpriced coins (& if you're lucky) banknotes.  When I attended TO shows 20 years ago you could take the GO train into TO downtown (& walk) but that's no longer an option. There were only a few dealers who carried banknotes.

I can't imagine what the bus route would involve so I haven't even considered attending. Back then I could haggle re: the sales tax (but not any more).  When I attend a show its usually to meet some fellow collectors (&/or buy supplies) since buying notes online is so much cheaper. I think that's essentially killing shows b/c they're mostly just about the bourse (& selling collectors coins/notes) which can be done so much cheaper online. They lack an education element like the RCNA workshops.

When I went to Torex 20 years ago there were the odd legendary paper dealer like Don Olmstead. These guys were friendly & would talk shop & teach us a few things (or 2).   These days there's just coin dealers (& all the non-circulating coins, junk tokens, etc) who don't know how to grade a banknote if their life depended on it & have zero interest in what I'm interested in. Fortunately, there are more women involved but I think the old guard still dominate things (at their peril).

Hello CPMF,

A fourth 1954 $2 K/R no back plate number (no BPN) has been found and has been added to my note register.

A major online auction company in Quebec City includes this note in their upcoming sale, Session 2 on April 21st.  Lot #460 offers “no BPN” K/E 1756860 graded Legacy VF 20.

These notes continue to be elusive and someone with sharp eyes another found one.  Keep looking!

March 14th finds:

One of my banks called me to pick up some pennies.  When I arrived, the teller gave me 4 bank bags worth of them!

While I was there, I asked for paper money and the teller let me pick through the pile.  I chose three journey $100s and one journey $20.  The highlight is the pair of EJZ prefix $100s.

Enjoy!

  (Why are the 2003 dated BER $10s so much more valuable if there were 7.2 million printed versus only 1.4 million of the 2004 dated notes?)

Much of the 7.2M BER 2003 notes were never released into circulation while the 2004 BER which saw only 1.4M were fully circulated. If you find a 2003 hang onto it!! They are very hard to find.

Just picked up this Replacement & Binary note!

Happy 30th!  I will keep an eye out for you.

Still Looking (forever looking).

March 12th finds, part 2:

I went to a second branch just down the road from the first one and I went in and asked the teller for old notes and coins.  The teller obliged with $42.50 in nickel dollars and 50c coins.  She went to the cash cage and let me look through the paper money in the mutilated pile.  There wasn’t much, but I chose a birds $5…the teller then said “oh, there’s a $1000 bill.  Do you want it?” 

Of course, I took it!  Boy, am I glad that I have unlimited transactions on my bank accounts!

Enjoy!
