I've been saving radar banknotes that I come across but now I have some bills to pay (no pun intended...) and need to pick just one to keep...

They are all in pretty much the same condition.

So I ask you....which one (or maybe two) would you keep...?

Hmm, I'm sort of drawn to the 773... or the 211... I can't exactly say why though.

Are you putting the others on ebay?

Although the 693... reminds me of a poker hand lol.

I was just going to spend the others. I wasn't sure if they'd be worth it to put on ebay...

It all depends on condition really... if they're UNC you're definitely going to get a premium for them but not sure if that will exceed the cost of the fees.

In my opinion... I would go with your three digit radars over the 4 digit radars..

If you can find a good friend that will hold on to them for you... and give you other cash... that may be a good idea as well.

Good luck!

353 and 112 are most appealing to my eye.

I have been thinking about this post all last night... and this what I have come up with....

1) Go over each note with a detailed eye... and try to select the absolute best conditioned notes.. (I know you said they're all around the same grade... but as one thing we know in collecting after scarcity, grade really is very important)

2) Go with a 3 digit radar instead of a 4 digit radar... they hold a bit of a higher premium as they're harder to come by.. (mathematically speaking)

3) My personal favourite is the 6936396 ... for the following reasons:
a) It's a 3 digit radar
b) all the numbers are factors of 3
c) -long stretch here but it could be said that it's a 6 digit repeater as well... (although nobody really counts 6 digit repeaters.. )

But if these notes are UNC's I would still recommend you find a way to keep them.... you'll be happy you did..

I like the 773 personally, the zero in the middle cuts it in half nicely. Also I don't collect paper but silver gold coin seems to know a lot about this so maybe the 693 too/only.

I've decided to keep the bottom two. If anybody is in the Montreal area and wants to rescue the other three from being spent then I'll gladly exchange them at face value. I'll try to hang on to them until Labour Day...
CHEERS!!
