2018 New $10 Canadian Bank Note

- No, I do not understand this (nor many other results I have seen on i-collector/auction network)
- Even if it's the less common CDF prefix (which is estimated to be about a 3M run) the price doesn't make sense. The buyer will have to wait several decades to get his money back (most CDN collectors know that US based TPG tend to grade generously compared to BCS)
- If the note was a 2 digit radar than that would still be well above book (but less surprising) Special Serial #s (radars, millions, low #) were quite hard to attain in the "150" tens due to SN skipping
- There is an American based ebay seller/dealer who regularly sells common notes for 5-10 times book because he pumps up the grade as "top pop" or employs other grandiose claims. I saw a "1867-1967" commemorative $1 listed for 100X book. I personally think its a shame that so many common notes are being dressed up this way as it will eventually turn off the uninitiated to collecting CDN paper.

Oh Lord, another problem with these online auctions is they still manage to fudge up the listing descriptions.....

Finally got my 10 New $10 from the Laurentien Bank in Laval, Quebec. Had to be persistent but one of the ladies behind the counter decided to have a look in the back and sure enough, she found some. Almost all consecutive, All are prefix FTY.
