Some very nice notes shown here, great looking devils face hundred DEVLEC. Gr58 you've got a great start. I love the older currency much better then what we have now. I couldn't help but think of this note when the colour of the notes being consistent over time was brought up. This note is from the 1935 issue and as you can see it was blue. When the notes of 1937 were issued and the $5.00 notes were blue this caused confusion for the public so the Government ordered the withdrawal of the 1935 $2.00 from circulation and all remaining unused notes were to be destroyed. I've never heard an explanation of why they changed the colours around in 1935 because before that the colours were established with blue historically for the $5.00 denomination. I guess this is why the 1935 issue can be quite pricey.   |

I like the 1937 notes too, I have been concentrating on obtaining the Osbourne and narrow panel notes.

All lovely notes. I got my first 1937 note, a $5 bill, in New Westminster, B.C., in 1969, just by purchasing something at a store. Of course, being 17 years old, I had to spend it within a day or two. I wondered why Canadians just spent their classic banknotes instead of hoarding them, but then I did exactly the same, so it was quite moot.

I have a very modest accumulation of Canadian currency, some of which, I obtained on my trips to British Columbia. I got this series 1937 $2 on ebay last week. I will be looking for a $5 soon.  |

I did have it graded along with a $100 1937 note that I just got back but haven't photographed yet. The $100 note came back Changeover, AU55 original and the $10 note came back Changeover, AU 50 with minor stain. It is also the highest recorded serial number for that prefix according to the Charlton book I wish I could afford the 35's  Edited by maddog

You have some very nice notes maddog. I really like the Z/D $10.00 note they're hard to find in this grade. Congrats.
Cheers, Bill

Maddog, that VF $50 bill is about the nicest looking one I've seen. Congratulations.
The Fifty and the Hundred are next in line for my collection, hope I can find VF examples as nice as your Fifty.
