Delareece Valued Member Canada 101 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 2:00 pm Hey guys, So as I continued to search a pile of 1986 Canadian Banknotes, I've stumbled across a few signature/serial number combinations that I believe to be uncommon/rare and worth some money (based on what I've read). But I'm far from an expert, so can anyone confirm the rarity of these and/or a rough estimated value? 1986 5 Dollar Note Sig# 1: J.W. Crow Sig# 2: G.K. Bouey Serial# : EOH Prefix Estimated Value (Avg. from websites based on UNC grade): $300 Report this Post to the Staff

Delareece Valued Member Canada 101 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 2:12 pm Finally, I've read that the 1986 2 Dollar Note with the Thiessen-Crow Signatures and a serial number prefix between BGA-BGZ (Big B) is worth alot of money. How do you identify a "Big B" compared to a "Little B"? I think I have a Little B. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Your grandmother must have taken good care of them. What you have is the small B variety. This picture should help in identifying the difference between the two. Report this Post to the Staff
TheBurnz Pillar of the Community Canada 586 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 09:39 am Nice notes! It looks like your research is good, but the value will come down to grades. If you send them in and they come in at uncirculated then yes the values you state will hold true. I don't think they are low grade as I can't see any folds, but edges would have to be inspected under magnification. 1986 5 Dollar Note Sig# 1: J.W. Crow Sig# 2: G.K. Bouey Serial# : EOH Prefix Estimated Value (Avg. from websites based on UNC grade): $300 ( in AU condition value is $140 Canadian) 1986 2 Dollar Notes Sig #1: J.W. Crow Sig #2: G.K. Bouey Serial #: AUJ and AUN Prefixes Estimated Value (Avg. from websites based on UNC Conditions): $65-90 each (AU $30) For premiums on consecutive notes, you can expect a 10% to %20 premium, unless you get a collector who focuses his collection on consecutive notes.

Delareece Valued Member Canada 101 Posts	Posted 03/07/2018 12:57 pm Perfect, thanks for the confirmation and info guys. Since I'm new to banknote collecting, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't completely out to lunch with what I've found so far Report this Post to the Staff
MoneyPenney Pillar of the Community Canada 2984 Posts	Posted 03/07/2018 2:30 pm Have you consider getting the Charlton Catalogue of Canadian Paper Money? You don't have to buy it as it is available at many libraries. It is a valuable resource and you can find all the information about currency you want there. https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/item/..._paper_money Report this Post to the Staff
