News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

A Beattie-Rasminsky 1954 $1 asterick S/O at the George Manz auction in Regina for $25.00.  The note is an unc with nice embossing with a tight right margin being the only demerit.  The width of the note is also 1/32 of an inch less than average. The note may have been trimmed but there is no apparent reason why such a small amount would have been trimmed.  Perhaps it's a note from the edge of the sheet.  The serial number is 0184327.  Does any one know (and is it knowable) where the note was located on the sheet?

Thanks for any response.

I think Brent knows how to determine where a note would be located on a sheet.

My guess is yes it would be printed on the edge of the sheet. Left or Right Side, not sure.

Beattie/Rasminsky notes should be printed 1961-1971. From 1956 to 1968, notes were printed in sheets of 32, from 1968 on they were printed in sheets of 40.

If note 0184327 was printed on a sheet of 32, the position should  be seventh row, first column (G1), left side of sheet. If printed on a sheet of 40, the position should be, fifth row, fifth column (E5), right side of sheet.

 

Yes it has been added
I was lucky to get this one

You sure are lucky to find one. There aren't very many around. I believe they are about equally as rare as the *FH. Did you pay more than the value listed in charlton. Currently the *FH in the same grade is selling around $1,500... i would assume *AA is trending around the same.? Just curious... would just love to add one to my collection.

I know J&M Coins had a *AA (above 5M) for sale a little while ago.  Not sure if they still have it but if you want to add one to your collection you could check with them.

I hope this fits the criteria of "any response" 

I've seen a lot of poorly-centred 1954 asterisk notes.  It's probably the norm because the replacement sheets are not always perfectly in alignment with the normal sheets.  Many asterisk notes that appear to have been trimmed are probably not, but that's not actually important.  A note with a tight margin will appear to be trimmed, and that will knock down the value because of the aesthetics.  Most people can't tell a trimmed edge from an original edge.  There's no logical reason why someone would trim a note down almost to the design because that's a worse impediment to value than, say, an unsharp corner.  TPGs might feel differently, but that's my take.

I thought this made a cool set

Nice. The truth is I'm note big on matching serial numbers. I had the $50 then i was offered the $100. I was excited that it was $100 note and given the notes condition you don't see  tons of these but i was disappointed i already had that number. I'm thinking of selling or possibly trading the $50. Worst case is I have a matching set.

Found these two notes consecutively...

$100 EJF 6421088
$100 EJF 8221088

The last 5 digits are identical.  The position numbers are also the same on both notes (43/38).  This is when I realized that these two notes are EXACTLY 5 reams apart (5 x 360,000 = 1.8 million) since CBN notes are printed skip-8,000 and 45/on.

Coincidence? Almost certainly.  Both notes are circulated.
