1954 $1.00 *b/M Replacement Unicorn

- that's the range I'm familiar with too.

Here's one (*B/M0410886) I posted a couple years ago within that range:

Whenever I drop in on "CoinsandCanada" I often wonder how could they stray away any further from what currency collectors need to know (& how could they possibly get off track so fast). I mean, just look at this summary for the 2013 polymer $10.00:

There is Wilkins-Poloz FTH when it should be Macklem-Carney FTH & the FTN prefix (which is not even tough). It bothers me b/c I have seen the Canadian Numismatic Co auction describe the W-P FTH like its scarce when I know several collectors who have high grade UNC examples (& 683 were reported on the SNDB)! This could be a huge fiasco once collectors who've paid $500 for a common note come to the realization that its a common change-over!

With the polymer $20 it gets even worse. There's nothing about the Macklem-Carney BSW prefix nor the Wilkins-Poloz FVP. Anyway, I suppose the folks over there try but it just never ceases to amaze me the misinformation that has been propagated at the 'coinsandcanada" site. Truly a coin collectors hang-out by the look of the posts/comments on their forum!

Nice adds Bill.




The numbers that are in any registry is only as good as the data that is submitted by collectors. The range will probably be in flux for a few years yet. You should report your findings to coinsandcanada as I believe that is the site keeps the *BM No FPN registry. They can then extend the serial # range to 0458358.
