Dean’s finds

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

October 30th finds:

I went to one of my banks today and the teller offered me some $1 and $2 notes.  One of the $2s has a neat serial number, composed of only 8s and 7s, and another one of the $2s has serial numbers that are slightly out of register.

While I was there, I decided to ask for customer wrapped coins and I got a few dime rolls plus $100 in quarters.

Stay tuned for the result…

Update:
There wasn’t much in these coin rolls aside from a few shiny commemoratives, some King Charles 2023 quarters and 85 cents worth of US coins.

I hope I get some silver soon…but as they say, you’ll never find anything if you don’t keep looking.

October 31st finds and mail call.

I picked up some rolled coins today, and while the finds were few, the dimes contained silver!  A 1960 and a 1962 dime to be exact…

A package of notes arrived in the mail today.  Why would I buy such low grade notes?  Well, one of them is a 1979 $5 replacement note and the other has an interesting stamp on it.

Enjoy!

November 3rd finds:
More paper and silver too!

Yesterday, one of my banks gave me two birds $100s.  While I was there, I picked up a few rolls of dimes.

My silver streak continues!  There was one 1968 silver dime in the rolls, $1.30 in US dimes, a 2023 King Charles dime, a few commemoratives, a 5 pence coin from the UK and three 1968 nickel alloy dimes.

Enjoy!

November 4th finds and mail call!

I went to one of my banks today.  They had no paper money, but they did have four bags of pennies and a box of customer wrapped nickels and a few rolls of customer wrapped dimes.  I’ll update whenever I finish hunting all of these coin rolls…

When I got home, I received two envelopes.  Why would I buy more circulated notes? 

Well, there were two *FA replacements and a couple of other surprises I will discuss in my other thread.

Enjoy!

November 10th:

I found this polymer $50 a few days ago and I tried to upload a photo for confirmation to the SNDB but the page would not load.

So, here it is:

GMP 0741530 the low for the prefix with only 4 notes reported.

Enjoy!

Dean, I don't know of a way to confirm a SNDB contribution if it gets submitted without an image attached at the same time. Trying to verify such a note just gives the following error message:


You cannot confirm or flag this note until an image has been posted.

I found this email while scrolling through the forum.

Try emailing sndb@cdnpapermoney.com

I don’t know if that email is active or not because BWJM posted the email to a thread 9 years ago but if it does work I’m sure they will enter it in the suspect note SNDB

November 18th summary:

I was so busy this week, I had no time to post.
Here is what I found from the Main Branch

Some nice journey $10s and $20s
Some circulated $1s and $2s
A nice multicolour $100 and a couple of birds $10s.

From $500 in quarters and $250 in dimes:
A bunch of US coins, lots of commemorative quarters and one silver dime from 1964 that looks like it came out of an uncirculated set.

Stay tuned for part 2…

Enjoy!

Hi Claude,

November 19th finds:

I went to a couple of banks that I hadn’t visited in awhile.

The first bank had a single birds $100 for me and a few loose commemorative coins and some pennies.

The second bank had lots of paper money including a couple of $1s and $2s, birds and journey $5s and $10s and a multicolour $10.  The best note in this lot has to be the FEV prefix replacement note.
Also interesting are the two journey $10s…100 notes apart and another “777” note for my collection.

From the bank machine, I managed to get an INK prefix $5 and an FFN prefix $10…take a look at these curious lines on the back of the note; they do not appear on the face of the note.  I do not think that these lines are scratches…Opinions are welcome!

Enjoy!

November 19th:  Pre postal strike pickup!

I received two packages on the eve of the postal strike…

I bought 600 circulated 1973 $1s to look through.  The seller gave me this 1954 $1 for free…”Quebec Libre” in black sharpie…

The other package contained a partial set of 1954 notes that I bought because of the date stamp on the $20 note…June 11 1971.

Stay tuned for updates on the bundles of $1s!
Enjoy!

It may be a scratch based on my observations but I may be wrong as I gotten bills like these with those line on the bills which I suspect may be caused by the ATM machine when withdrawing or even the scratch may have happened at the one of the Bank of Canada’s facility packaging banknotes. I’m a new collector so I may be partially wrong but that’s my guess for how those lines got there

Hi Dean,
I hope you will found somethigs intersting in your 1$ 1973!
I bought a lot of 2$ 1986 and you it's 1$ 1973 haha!
It's the only way to found information.
