the_sifu Valued Member Canada 276 Posts	Posted 09/21/2019 9:32 pm I enjoy hunting the two flea markets in Winnipeg. Most of the time nothing but a good walk. However gallivanting around the city with my brother, and I ran into this at Thirsty's Flea Market. Finding a specimen note at a Flea Market was cool. No, I did not buy it, but the seller Ron also had 5 binders of Canadian decimal coins and other World Coins also. Report this Post to the Staff

Pokermandude Pillar of the Community Canada 1192 Posts	Posted 09/22/2019 3:36 pm $1500 is insanely high. I just sold a complete 9 piece set (certified too) for not a lot more than that. Report this Post to the Staff
MoneyPenney Pillar of the Community Canada 2984 Posts	Posted 09/23/2019 3:49 pm $1500 is a ridiculous high price because I bought a graded one for around $220 (including fees/taxes) in a recent auction. Funny, it has the same BA serial number. How is this possible with same serial number? Are there more than one of them? Report this Post to the Staff
Pokermandude Pillar of the Community Canada 1192 Posts	Posted 09/23/2019 5:19 pm I believe all specimen notes of the same date+denomination had the exact same serial number. In the Multicolor series, roughly 650 speciment notes were printed/sold of each denomination. Report this Post to the Staff
john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 09/23/2019 6:33 pm Some specimen notes are kind of rare like the devil's face 1, 20, 100, and 1000 like about 9 notes each while others are just too many through the two BOC archive sales, that is why you can buy the multicolour and bird series for 300 to 500 bucks. I have only seen one journey series specimen note but you take a chance the BOC will have another garage sale. Report this Post to the Staff
MoneyPenney Pillar of the Community Canada 2984 Posts	Posted 09/23/2019 7:55 pm @Pokermandude, Thanks. This is my banknote with same prefix: That Fleas Market seller is really trying to fleece a gullible buyer. No collector with an oz of brain cells will pay even close to $1500 for it.

john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 09/23/2019 9:06 pm There are lots of these not graded, the note is borderline worth grading unless near the top of the scale. Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5241 Posts	Posted 09/24/2019 8:35 pm $1500! That proves the truth of that expression I hear: "flea market prices". Maybe fleece market is a better term. Report this Post to the Staff
