Are these worth selling?

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

I have found the following old notes in a clean out, have done a bit of research on the net to find out how to describe them, are any worth enough to put effort into selling them?  Many thanks.

Hi there,

Welcome to the forum.  I see no one has responded to your enquiry.  Generally speaking, most CPM members would prefer to see scans of your notes before they can give a "guestimate" to  whether they're worth selling.

To answer your question, you would be wise to borrow a copy of the Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Paper Money from your local library where you can see for yourself what each note would be worth.  Remember that the $ value is generally a ballpark figure under normal market conditions if the collector is interested in attaining that note.  Under current conditions- "Book value" may be a bit higher than "market value" or what someone is willing to pay.

If you care, you can list these notes for sale on eBay or here on the forum.

The notes you listed do not jump out at me for being either particularly rare or desirable to collect.  However, there may be some collectors interested in the notes you describe as "uncirculated & mint" and the *B/M (though it is the most common replacement note issued for 1954).

If you are to list your notes for auction/sale, you might consider grouping the "limp, well worn and wrinkled" notes in one LOT (the same for the 1923 issues).    That way you may get more collectors interested. 

Hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks very much for your response and help.  I'll follow your suggestions.
