Small B - 1973 series $1 - Newly discovered prefix BFG

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

Further to my previous finds of small B's in the 1973 $1 banknotes, I re-examined the 6 bundles of 1973 $1 notes I got from a collection dump in the Ottawa Valley where I found a small BCP and 2 small BCT's which were posted earlier in this section of the Forum.  I discovered a small BFG $1 banknote which could be the first reported small B for this series of prefixes for these $1 banknotes.

I posted the image of this banknote and compared it to the image of the big B for the same prefix of BFG.

No doubt, there are more and we need to keep on looking through all the $1 banknotes to determine what are the prefixes and the range of the small B prefixes.

Enjoy the image and keep on searching!!

Hi Whitenite,
I'm happy someone except me and Dean take attention on that variety.You do not realized how many 1$ 1973 and 2$ 1986 I look through.For now I realized it's more easy to found 2$ 1986 for large''B'' than the 1$ 1973!
If you want to sell it let me know or at Dean.
Thank you again for the information.

Hi Claude,

Thanks for the post, your English is getting better, I wish that I could write in French as well as you write in English.

I will let you know if I decide to sell the small B $1 banknotes.  I have 1 small BCP, 2 small BCT's (sequential numbers) and now the BFG. 

We need to get this information into the Charlton Catalogue as there could be more floating around.

Merci, Whitenite
