IBGolden Pillar of the Community Canada 598 Posts	Posted 01/29/2011 7:22 pm This just keeps getting more & more interesting. That's why my collection requires this coin. But what kinda irks me, is that I was not allowed to purchase any... twice, because I wasn't a Master Club member. But I'm a lifelong Canadian dagnabbit! No, no... I was most cordial and the mint reps I spoke with were the same. Maybe if I keep calling, or wait two days... or keep calling Also interesting is the coin magazine cover of this as a ten dollar piece... of which I find more, uhm, palatable. I will be looking for this mag now. What the heck, I might actually learn something. Carl... I know your out there. Got a witty quip for the Canucks? Report this Post to the Staff
HawkC026 Valued Member Canada 150 Posts	Posted 01/29/2011 7:25 pm This whole NCLT discussion got me thinking about something. If I walked into a bank with a stack of 50 Canadian $1 bills (no longer in circulation) or tried to spend said $1 bills at a store, would I run into problems? I could see where a store clerk might not want to accept them because he/she may have been born after $1 bills were taken out of circulation and may never have seen one, but I would think the bank would have to exchange them for me for a nice crisp $50 bill (or 5 tens, or a ten and two twenties etc.) The same goes for the $1000 bill............I've got one sitting in the bank vault that I might want to spend one day.

realpenny Valued Member 423 Posts	Posted 01/29/2011 7:34 pm ^^^^ Hawk you'll get more at a coin shop/selling to collectors for a $1000 bill than face if you just spend it. Most people are familiar with the 1 and 2 dollars bills still, doubt you would have any trouble spending them. Edited by realpenny 01/29/2011 7:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
HawkC026 Valued Member Canada 150 Posts	Posted 01/29/2011 7:39 pm I'm sure I could get more for the $1000 bill from a collector realpenny, I was just wondering how much of a hassle I'd run into trying to spend it at someplace like Best Buy Report this Post to the Staff
canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 01/29/2011 7:40 pm IBG this is bad luck, others got the coins w/o master statute. Don't worry I'm sure plenty of those NQLT (*) will circulate ------------------- NQLT - Not Quite Legal Tender. Report this Post to the Staff
defone Valued Member Canada 62 Posts	Posted 01/29/2011 8:11 pm Ok, back on track here: Is the coin expected to be shipped encapsulated/sealed at all? Report this Post to the Staff
HawkC026 Valued Member Canada 150 Posts	Posted 01/29/2011 8:13 pm Based on the pictures I saw on the Mist site, it sure looks like the coin is encapsulated and then inserted into a black carboard sleeve with a clear window. Report this Post to the Staff
