Recent Circulation Serial Number Finds

Nice find on the ABX Enyaw!

Very nice!

Thanks for the information @walk2dwater. I noticed in the Charlton Catalogue that HAH had the next highest value after the change-over HAE.

The Charlton catalogue's lowest value published is VF$40.

The note still belongs to me (no: I didn't sell it). The gist of my statement "was" that I had documented the serial # back in 2013.



-I'm not sure how to interpret Charlton's pricing tables but "bottom line is" they don't match reality. After HAH (with 46 reported), HAL have the next lowest # (64 reported) then HAJ (73 reported) & HAK with135 reported. I was one of several collectors who recycled thousands of notes in the hunt for these elusive end-of-the-line (recalled) prefixes. I caught 2-3 HAF & HAG (around 250 reported) but found HAJ & HAK elusive (found 1 of each & in rough shape). I never found the 2011 HAE change over & a collector offered to sell me a soiled F note for $250 (today's AU price). I knew that price was ridiculous & turned it down (of course).

Sometimes HAK or HAJ was offered but they sold for 5 to 10X FV before Charlton began to acknowledge they were tough. UNC HAL was offered about as often as an UNC 2011 HAH (usually from Quebec) & they sold higher still. I swapped for my circulated HAL & got lucky with my found HAH but both are very circulated (less than VF). This was about 12 years ago (2011-2013) & most collectors knew these 7 prefixes would be tough (far harder than most insert replacements).

The only notes that had any significant numbers (sold on ebay) I can recall were HAF & HAG. Despite this, Charlton tables have tough HAJ, HAK priced exactly the same as the more common HAF & HAG ($10 for VF to $80 for Gem UNC). HAL is the same as HAH, but HAJ is just about as tough/scarce as HAH. HAK may be slightly easier to find then HAJ (or HAH & HAL) but far tougher than HAF or HAG.

The low BV for HAJ & HAK makes about as much sense as the Macklem Carney FTH $10 which with 14 reported still shows no BV change ($20 in VF & $140 in Gem UNC). My 2025 catalogue shows they're still sleeping on these low denomination tough "workhorse" notes but continue to bump up the $50 & $100 polymer signature change overs (easier to find in UNC) with new signatures.

that's incredible enyaw!

They're all fives where are your hundreds?
