DevilFace ChangeOver Notes

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

Would the change from Devil Face to Modified be considered a changeover note? The change from Coyne/Towers to Beattie/Coyne, same prefix fits the definition. On the other end, you have DF Beattie/Coyne to Mod Beattie/Coyne, same prefix, does not fit the definition. Are these still considered  changeover notes?
thx

Honestly, I don't know the exact term or how the dealers / collectors interpret but it does carry a premium for those "notes".

Any change within a prefix is a changover note. Remember that on the 1950's we didnt have the kind of money supply that we do today. So you saw multiple changes within the same prefix.

Hope this helps

Thanks, that helps.

Maybe the definition should read "Any change within a prefix"?

Can you think of any other instance were there is a change within a prefix but not the signature. ie DF to Mod notes?

there are some multicolor notes where the changeover is from engraved plates to lithograph printing.
also there are notes like the *b/m where the change is face plate number to no face plate number, to the 1967 series of notes all within the same 1954 style $1 note.
Some bird series $100 notes have a Hidden back plate  to a Clear back plate

If you look at the bird $5 notes some have a yellow back plate changing to a blue plate within the same signature and prefix.

This can really grow your changeover note collection so have some fun!!

Some time it takes a little detective work  in the Charlton  Catalogue  to figure out  what the changeovers are....sometimes it is not what the fine print says but also what it does not say... to figure out some of the ranges and minor differences. On occasion years may go by before someone points out something that is really unique...and some are even willing to share their finds with everyone on the forum...
