DC-13 1898 $1 Note Register

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

New note to add to registry and for sale if anyone is interested.

Lowest number known to exist and 70th note printed overall (Series A, Sheet A)

A000070/A              Grade:  VG

A registry has been kept by Harry Eisenhauer for many years and was printed in a 2008 CPMS newsletter.

A registry recently appeared on the Wiki site along with images of many of the notes.

The original registry kept by Harry Eisenhauer was only for the DC-13a "Ones Inward", as this note appeared to be a lot scarcer then the DC-13b and DC-13c.

The Carlton catalogue states:

The 2009 CPMS register provides a listing of 1898 $1 Dominion notes with "Ones Inward", DC-13a.  As oif the time of publication of this catalogue 114 privately owned examples were recorded.  DC-13b and DC-13c are considerably more plentiful, but we are aware of no attempt to compile a census of these varieties.

I agree that a registry for the DC-13b and DC-13c is of minimum value, but the small number of DC-13a notes seen over the years begs the question; "What happened to the 15,200,000 printed ?"

It's a shame that so much time and effort is being wasted to collect info on such common notes.  There are a number of rare chartered notes for which no register has been published (at least not in the past 20 years!).  But i guess they have to fill the Newsletter some way...

What's next?  A register of 1923 shinplasters?  GMAB.

ACTUALLY FYI, the current WIKI register for the 1898 DC-13 notes was created by me for tracking and reference purposes (since I am actively building a DC-13 set). Since I had the information I thought I would create a WIKI register for it so that anyone else that is interested in them could have access to the information.. So for me it wasn't a waste of time nor is it intended to be used for ulterior financial purposes.
