I've decided to follow in Walk2thewater's footsteps and tell everyone a bit about my collection. My collecting history started when my parents got me interested in searching through pocket change as an 8 year old. This was back in the 80's when silver was much easier to find. Before I knew it I had a binder full of different dates and denominations. Spring ahead to the year 2002 when I was in my mid 20's and came across that very binder. That started a new passion for collecting raw coins and banknotes. I even started dabbling as an ebay seller for a time back when the fees were quite low. I sold coins, banknotes and toy cars. By 2007, my new passion was thrown in the dumpster as I fell on hard times. I had to sell everything I own, including my collection, in order to support my family. My luck would improve in 2011 and by 2014 the passion was rekindled. This time around I was starting from scratch and decided to collect mainly graded coins and banknotes. My collection includes: Canada 1 cent coins 1858 to 2012 ICCS graded MS-60 or better Canada 1 dollar coins 1935 to 1986 ICCS graded MS-60 or better Canada 1 cent mint wrapped rolls 1978 to 2012 Canada Proof Like/Uncirculated sets 1954 to present Canada 1973 1 dollar prefix banknote set Canada denomination banknote set 1937 to present I will begin my next post with the 1937 series. Enjoy!  |

Very nice set of 37's with excellent eye appeal @Q60driver! I find AU50+ to be a very nice grade range with nice crisp paper & the original colours show very well. Happy Thanksgiving  (that's my dancing pumpkin) & nice start to what should be another fun thread to follow!  |

Also wanted to ask the experts, does anyone know the survival rate for the 1954 Devils Face $1000? I know there were only 30,000 printed but just wondering if there is a list of known serial numbers showing estimates of how many survivors there are.

For the Centennial notes, I have the 2 varieties. Double date and serial number. Everything from this point forward will be uncirculated except for one, which I may upgrade eventually.   Up next will be the multicolored notes from 1969 to 1979 |

I know there were only 30,000 printed but just wondering if there is a list of known serial numbers showing estimates of how many survivors there are. I looked for a registry on the Canadian Paper Money Forum & didn't find anything so I'm not sure if there is one. The thing is: Canadians hoarded many $100 & $1000 notes in their Safety Deposit Boxes at the banks. This has never changed much but we kept seeing $1000 all the time in high grades (dumped on the market by the heirs). When I started getting back into the hobby in 2003, one could pick AU Birds & Mod $1000 up for a few bucks over FV (unless they were the Thiessen Crow or Birds replacement varieties). I talked to dealers about them & most weren't interested b/c they found so few collectors seeking them. Mostly coin collectors collect them as when I went to a RCNA workshop I was shocked to see how many coin collectors had one (but a lot of them got them for FV from family/friends). Re: your Modified set. All your notes are pretty well centred & have nice eye appeal. I see that your $50 is 20 off from being a 2 digit radar! I really like the back designs (various scenic spots across the country). I think my favourite is the FIVE. |
