Whats the premium for Consecutive notes? 1937 $100 CH UNC 63 x3

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

eg 1937 $100 ch unc 63, 3 notes consecutive serial numbers.  What kind of a premium would you attach to something like this over and above book value?

Thanks

On your example of three consecutive 100;s I would definitely be looking for a discount not a premium.
That would go for most banknotes, I can’t think of anything that would have a premium just because you will sell more then one of something, it’s usually the other way around.

Personally, I attach zero premium to consecutively numbered notes.
I would also say that I would never pay full catalogue value for a note nor would I buy third party graded notes.  I’m old school; I like to see the notes in person and negotiate with a dealer for a fair price.

Funny how different collectors are.  Me and others I know who collect are looking for Consecutive pairs or runs especially in 1954 or older.  Since these notes are somewhat scarce it makes them more attractive in UNC+ especially if you can find more rare Consecutive serials.

I once had 21 consecutive 1954 $1000 bills.  I ended up selling most of them individually because most people can't afford the high value of multiple $1000 notes.

I think it is fantastic that collectors are a diverse bunch with varied tastes BUT I have seen so many consecutive notes that I would never pay a premium (even if they were Osborne signatures) on 1937's & up.  Even for 1935 series (I would be lucky, if I can afford one UNC example). 

Keep in mind, I started forming specific collecting goals about 25 years ago (& sold off most of my collection for upgrades) & consecutive # (or pairs) just don't register as something I want. I don't have the space in my binder.  I have also sold several consecutive 1937 UNC C-T runs of ONES (x3) at a discount & also would never buy a $1000 note (unless it was practically exchanged for me).  The money displaced by a $1000 "bank instrument" (that were so often kept in people's SDB rather then circulated  is just too much when it can be put towards an UNC Devil's Face or possibly a 1935 or Ozzie 1937. I also would never buy a "specimen" but I know there's plenty out there who would & I suppose (if I won the Lotto) I could go for a Specimen $500 or $25 if it were in fantastic condition (& @ a price I could not refuse).

Over the years of collecting World notes, I have seen several consecutive batches that were broken up & I know I own a few of these (b/c I've seen images of notes that are 1 or 2 away from mine posted online).
