Canadian Government Paper Money, 2006

Canadian Government Paper Money

22nd Edition, 2010
Author: Charlton Press
Editor: R. J. Graham

In order to make the catalogue as useful as possible it is essential to track the market whichever way it goes. The current economic crisis has prompted a heavy volume of sales of mainly modern notes to dealers, resulting in oversupply and therefore lower valuations for some material. It can be hoped that as economic conditions ease, lower prices will attract new collectors and bring back others who may have become discouraged.

Hardest hit are the multicoloured and birds series, of which many notes are in steep decline. Others are holding their ground and a select few have even increased in value. Prices are easing for many Journey notes but not many have tumbled dramatically. Others are holding well and, again, selected issues show increases.

Charlton Canadian Bank Notes

6th Edition
Author: Charlton Press
Editor: Robert Graham

Valuations for the note issues of many banks have moved ahead aggressively despite the possibility of economic recession, because recent market and auction activity indicate that the market for chartered bank notes continues to be very buoyant. While valuations for such popular notes as those of the Bank of Nova Scotia, the Canadian Bank of Commerce and the Royal Bank of Canada have surged ahead as expected, many notes long considered to be “Cinderella material” have also participated in this very broad advance.
