Yet Another Forum Game - Numismatic Go Fish!

Once again, I am greatly honoured by this (temporary) crown.

Inspired by an earlier winner, who posted a low grade 1972S cent, I am posting a low grade Canada $1, issue of 1935. A recent acquisition, it is a truly horrible note, but it is the only one I own and the price was right. Sorry that the image is a bit faded, but I didn't want to take it out of the plastic.




As far as I can see, it grades Good with 2 major defects: split into two, and tape residue, and 1 minor defect (pencil markings).

This round will be like golf: the worse your note, the higher the score!

Any note graded better than Fine gets no points. This is a contest for the embarrassing rags in your collection.

The scoring is as follows:
1. Equal or worse condition: 2 points. Better but no more than Fine: 1 point. However, the serial number has to be visible. For example, shredded bank notes do not count.
2. Denomination 1 dollar (any country) 2 points. Multiple units of dollars: 1 point
3. George V portrait: 2 points. Any other portrait of an English monarch other than QEII: 1 point
4. Bonus point: 7 digit serial number closest to this one. For serial #s with 8 digits, you can ignore the last digit.

In the case of a tie, the worst note will win.

Edit:
The round closes around 9 pm the 13th of November.

Picked this up for $1.60 US last week. Any love for the note being Canadian? Or proximity to year?

Guys, some excellent "awful" notes here.

Here are the standings so far:

1. BD251: It is very cheeky to imagine that your George qualifies as an English Monarch, although he was born an Englishman and was at least as illustrious. In any case, I would say that this is a 4 pointer, 2 for the grade and 2 for the denomination.
2. Arkie, 3 points: one for George VI, 1 for the denomination and 1 for the grade-I think that yours is definitely better than mine. Excellent price, face value. It would have cost you about $18 Can here.
3. Dorado, 4 points. Plus 1 point for the closest serial number, as long as that lasts.

I've got a 50,000,000 dinara note so, it must be worth 10x yours!

Here's my worst entry. You may notice that 1/4 of it is missing and that it has been heavily circulated.




1978 Egypt 25 piastres
Serial #: 0479173

No British monarch unless you think the sphinx was modeled after someone who had yet to exist.

So, I think this is 3 points: 2 for condition and 1 for closest serial (currently).

My worse note, it's nearly in two. My dad carried this around in his wallet for years, god knows where he got it - he's been nowhere near Iraq, but kept it as a curiousity because of Saddam Hussein.

So it was on this thread that someone pointed out I was just about to embark on my 3K post and so I've held off on posting anything until I could once again contribute on this thread.

This thread has to be my favourite on this whole site... it's so fun!

There's a few submissions not because I want to win the round.. just for your viewing pleasure really.. (this thread makes me feel like a kid during show and tell!)

Here's my worst '35 $1




Here's my worst '37 $1
-reason I have it.. .I got this one and a few others a couple years ago from the bank for the great price of $1




Here's a pretty bad $2 note .. I've kept it b/c it's an ABX replacement



Here's my worst $2 note... it's not worth anything more than $2 but I've kept it b/c of the prefix BUN.. (i like prefixes that make words)




And since I saw some others doing some notes from around the world I thought I would include this one... I bought this one off ebay a while ago... The shipping was probably worth more than the note.. but I liked b/c it has a dragon on it! Better was the burn mark right below it's mouth... it gave me a chuckle when I saw it and figured I've spent $5 in much worse ways.. and clicked "bid"




Hope you enjoyed the "show and tell"... and my 3K post...
