"I am interested in paper money with solid serial numbers and low serial numbers" *** Edited by Staff to add Quote tags. Please use them in the future. ***As a collector of Canadian Banknotes for almost 50 years and bricking for over 30 years I can tell you that finding low serial numbers in Unc or better condition is difficult to say the least. Personally, I feel that low serial numbers are under valued in the CHarlton catalogue, but this is my opinion For example, a $5 radar (Journey Series) is priced at $45 and a low serial # under 999 is $55... There is never a difficulty in finding radar notes on ebay, at dealers tables or elsewhere, yet try to find low numbers it is much more difficult As far a # 1 notes go I collect them, but have always been fortunate to find them at face value through bricking, as well as solids etc. but having sold a few #1's I always get much more than catalogue prices. The bottom line is that there are not many collectors looking specifically for these notes, but those that do realize there worth and are willing to pay top dollar...the other thing I have noticed that it is more often the case that once a so called "throphy" note makes it in to ones collection they rarely appear on the market for a long time, if at all. |

(I rarely find low #) And for me- that's what I love about collecting. This presents an opportunity to pick up some rarer (low # notes) at a fantastic price if the seller is going by the book. But I think most sellers know the book is unrealistic on low # and overly optimistic on "inserts." However, having said that, we all must try to keep in mind that the book is simply a guide which gives us a ballpark figure to go by (in terms of a note's value). Realistically, there's far more factors at play- most importantly - the eye appeal of a note. For instance, I've never seen a 0001000 note go for the price of a 2 digit radar. Why? Who can't resist all those zeros (not to mention that it technically is borderline low). But then again, I feel radars (particularly in the later series) are over valued in Charlton. And right now, other than Journey/Frontiers polymers, everything on the online auctions seems vastly over priced. Anyway "Friedsquid" I bow to your 50 years of experience (I've only got 36) and welcome any more insight. Especially since there's been 3 or 4 posts posted here since I started writing this!  |

I will add that the above statements to be true on rarity of low and solids in EPQ or PPQ grade. I search daily and find these notes often but in low grade and some ungraded. Because of these values I am surprised we don't see many forgeries of these notes. Maybe because, the eye will look harder when a serial number as a solid or low is present, so the forgoers stick with mixed numbers in the SN's.

They'll put a serial number that looks ordinary. They don't want people to scrutinize their fakes. So it would be unwise for them to create forgeries of $100 & $1000 notes too (they don't want the person taking the note to look over it too carefully) so, typically, they stick to lower denominations (($5, $10 or $20). I've seen $50 & $100 but I believe they prefer to stick to $20. What is most noticeable (for me) on a fake is the serial number- the fake usually has a font that is all wrong... |

.Recent sales of special unc special numbers seems to prove that Charlton's prices are low . I agree 100% Low numbers are extremely difficult to find Especially in Unc or better condition And when they do come up for sale especially 0000001 notes the prices are high as justifiably So |

So -I just checked the 2016/28th Ed Charlton (2 editions ago) and found that 1969-1975 multicoloured #1 notes were given a BV of $1750 -in the 2017/18 (29th & 30 Ed) Charlton's the BV drops to $1650 for #1 note! and this is actually lower than either the Journey or Frontier $10 & $20 #1 note (both listed at $1700). |

Hello everyone,
I am interested in paper money with solid serial numbers and low serial numbers. Example like the one I have posted.
I find it hard to find pricing on such items, I'm sure because they are rare and hard to find for sale.
Does anyone know of a catalog or website that specializes in these items.
Thanks in advance, The $100 solid 8888888 catalogues for $1750 in Unc yet I have seen them go for much more than that... I would strongly suggest that any one who starts to collect paper money purchase a catalogue The Charlton Canadian Government Paper Money Cat The 30 th edition 2018 is currently available but the new one should be out by summer Im sure the price of the book will pay for itself if it avoids you getting burnt on even one note As a side note ...remember it is a guide .... some notes go for less and some for more but it gives you a ballpark to help when making a purchase Edited by friedsquid

Hello Group
I am new and am confused to the last post. Unless I read it wrong they posted a link to the auction. I am not trying to cause any harm but I would like to know if that is appropriate to post. Info only.
