Re: 2 questions about banknote collecting.

Here's a thread I started on the Paper Money Forum (it is a US-based banknote forum) on TIPS selling on eBay : https://www.papermoneyforum.com/post/tips-to-sell-on-ebay-or-elsewhere-strategies-etc-12813197?highlight=selling%20ebay&pid=1336730619 Like @HANDI1, I am a bit puzzled why you'd wish to lea...

Re: $2 Devil Face Notes

It's hard to say because you are not framing your question in a specific manner. Do you mean Choice UNC $2.00 compared to Choice UNC $20 from the first or 2nd signature combo? If you are talking about short prefixes (or change-overs), they're a different story (as are replacements). The BV's for the...

Re: Storing Banknotes

I was at a workshop on the storage/proper care of coin/banknote collections at the RCNA a few years ago. What was really surprising was that just about all the participants had experienced some damage to their collections & had stored their collections in their basements (or other problem spots). Wh...

Re: Bank Searching

I used to "recycle" cash at a few of my favourite branches but have really backed off in the last couple of years (mainly due to Covid & also due to the high # of new staff in training). Many of the new staff take forever to change up (or down) small amounts (like $2000 or 100X $20.00). It tends to ...

Re: Storing Banknotes

I would keep the silica pouches with your "raw" (or ungraded) collection. Also, remember to buy decent PVC-free (Mylar) or museum safe currency sleeves for your ungraded notes. There are many cheap plastic currency sleeves out there that are not appropriate for long term storage. Remember to store y...

Re: 1937 one dollar bank notes

That is correct: all 5 prefixes of the Osborne Towers 1937 ONES are narrow panelled but not labelled as such (since there's no variation amongst the 5 prefixes). They're only labelled narrow panelled on the first 2 prefixes of the Gordon Towers ONES. That's b/c the design was still narrow panelled f...

Re: Shinplaster Collection Valuation Part 1 of 2

Nice set. I have a 5 y.o. catalogue so not sure if this will help. The Book Values (BV) are just estimates. 1870 Series A: For Good - $120 VG $250 (I would expect the note to be about $150 Series Large B: Your holder states $175 VF30 -$300 so probably about $200 Series Small B: This has similar BV a...

Re: Replica. 1935 $1000 bill

There is an auction site selling a 1935 Canadian $1000 bill that looks very real to me( but what do I know) if it is a replica it can’t be legally sold can it? Unfortunately it is the wild, wild west on that popular selling platform. You sell copies, doctored notes, phoney certified notes in copied...

Re: 1937 Registry cut $20 & 2 digit repeater $50 research

Sorry to hear about your 2020 flood! I was really hoping that since I could not find any of the $50 in population reports, or past sales that I had an epically rare Heritage Auction worthy bill, even though I realized the condition was...terrible and I had the subpar signatures on it, but oh well. -...
