Good luck with the 'bay.  As far as braggin rights:
Check out my website--- at the very bottom I have a couple of nice things like yours (AZN)...  but not as nice as yours... but still nice in their own respect.  I finally have the scans up.

WOW those are pretty sweet looking $100's - interesting that they're like mine, but different enough that they seem even "rarer"!

I think the auction that those bills are being sold in is the event next weekend that I heard about in Oakville.  See http://www.cpnum.qc.ca/ for more details.  I doubt that's the place to go shopping around new bills, but maybe it is?   I imagine that it's quite impolite to bring your own merchandise to someone else's auction, but maybe the C&P folks would appraise them for me if i brought them along?  

Where could I get something like these appraised, and while I'm asking questions - how would you folks go about selling a collection like this?  Would you go to a third party auctioneer like this event in Oakville or.. I can't think of anything else.

I checked the ebay fee structure and yup, it's going to be somewhat expensive (around $500) to sell these there - especially if they get a price like the $100's above!   I can hardly imagine that a set like this is worth so much, but if 2 bills are worth $5K then what about 9 bills???   $20K?  Can't be.  (can it?)

Thanks folks

No I would not think that they would sell for that, that is there auction estimate I dont see them getting that much. I dont think your set is worth over $4000 but that just me anyone want to contribute there thoughts??

I would hate to see that set being broken up.  But maybe if you sold them in pairs, then collectors can obtain them for a reasonable price vs. selling the entire set together.  Not every collector has thousands of dollars to hold in a complete set of errors.   I also don't believe that your notes will go for over $5000 in one shot for the complete set.  You may get $5,000 by breaking them up.   Just my opinion...

That seems to be the thought of the day, and we kind of figured that was what we'd have to do.  But you're right it would really be a shame to break these up.  

I'll take some time to ask around for any interest but yeah, not many folks want to sink that kind of money into a collection - at least not all in one shot!  Pairs is a great idea too, thanks.

I appreciate all the help I found here - glad to see there are some nice forums left.   I only have one last question - what's the standard way to describe bills like these to a collector?

Regards,
sean

Why does it say Ex Member beside seank's name?

that's an excellent question. I've been wondering that myself!

I've noticed it on new members. Give it a day or two:)

Hi seank
Thought perhaps you had cancelled after you had questions answered.
I'm serious about buying the whole set from you.

I was just wondering - these notes are printed on a sheet of 40.  Wouldn't that mean that there are other similar notes possibly circulating?  ie. 9 x 40 sheets? = minimum 360 notes floating around somewhere?

and I'm wondering how I could have possibly "lost" a bill in the series?  how would that happen?  I did get other $50's during the two consecutive withdrawals and they were completely different than these.  

What happened to the lost bill?


an excellent point on the full sheet being mismatched - I can only guess that if they "caught" some of the bills, it stands to reason that they would have caught them all.   SO, they're all out there somewhere!
