September 22nd finds:
Small town, hidden treasure!

I visited a small town east of Toronto yesterday.  In my travels, I was able to obtain a large cache of notes.
I also picked up some rolled coins from the local banks.

Here is what I found in the rolls:
Lots of commemoratives, US coins, King Charles 2023 coins, a hard to find 1990 quarter, and best of all, a 1947 maple leaf silver quarter!
There was also a strange mutilated dime.  Was this a mis-strike or post mint damage?
I was also up 90 cents because the dime rolls were over stuffed.

At the local flea market, I picked out a Japanese 100 yen coin and two UK 10 pence pieces for the princely sum of $1.  I think I came out ahead on that transaction.  😀



Enjoy!

September 25th finds:
A few bills…and some coins.

One of my branches let me look through the mutilated pile and I took a few notes.
I asked for customer wrapped coins and they obliged with $200 in quarters and $135 in dimes.

Enjoy!

September 28th find

I went to the Guelph Coin Show today and boy, am I glad I did!  I snagged this multicolour $1 at a very reasonable price from a pile of otherwise common $1 notes.

Check it out; BCJ 4810587 with small Bs!

Enjoy!

Incredible find, fantastic.  It goes to show that there are many more out there and we need to find them.  Having to find BCP, BCT and BFG by myself for the 1973 $1 banknotes was incredible and to Dean and Claude for the other banknotes, we need to set up a database to track all of these small B and F's for the Multicolour and Bird Series of Banknotes.

My thoughts, Whitenite

Hi Dean,
It's a other great found from you!I hope more people will take a look on this?

October 5th finds from the Toronto Coin Expo:

I went to the expo yesterday and picked up a few notes for my collection (and a few for Claude) 😀

I’ll elaborate on the defaced notes in my other thread, but in terms of other finds, I managed to get a few BFF prefix $1s for my hoard, and a few “777” notes for the newest branch of my collection…You guessed it…notes with “777” in the serial number.

When you have been collecting for as long as I have, you need to find other things to collect in order to keep it interesting.  That’s why I started collecting defaced notes and other oddities.

Enjoy!
