Hello....

I have a small stack of Canadian Notes in my desk drawer that have been in an envelope for the last 20 years, and I thought maybe they were or are worth something more than their face value.

1954          Ser # TG3372262         $2 slight fold visible
1954          Ser # LU8615131         $2 slight fold visible
1954          Ser # MG5355624        $2 slight fold visible

1954          Ser # UX9595066         $5 slight fold visible

1954          Ser # SV5579085          $10 Crisp
1954          Ser # FT7001178          $10 slight fold visible

I also have some 1967 $1's, but by the posting on here they seem very common.

Some 1972 and 1979 5's, Crisp 1974 $2's and Crisp 1973 $1's

Thank you for any comments you may have....

Thank you,
Dan

All quite common. Not worth much above face value.

You may want to check your notes for the following features:

The 1967 issues are common (1867-1967 serial number) but the ones with regular serial numbers are relatively harder to find in higher grades.

The 1972 issue $5:  Check for asterisk replacement notes (*)
The 1979 issue $5:  Check for serial numbers beginning with (3100...a replacement note) or (3300...a test note)

1974 $2:  If there are 2 letters in the prefix, check for asterisk(*) replacement notes.  If there are 3 letters in the prefix, look for an "X" in the 3rd position as a replacement note.

The 1973 $1:  Same deal for asterisk replacement notes and "X" replacement notes but also look for notes with an "X" in the 2nd position as they are test notes.  (EXA or AXA)

The best possible thing for you to do is to educate yourself by purchasing the Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Government Paper Money which is available at any major bookstore in the antiques section.

Hope this helps,
Dean
