Canadian Government Paper Money, 17th Edition: A Charlton Standard Catalogue (Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Government Paper Money)
Description
New listings have been added, keeping the book up to date with recent issues and modern insert note discoveries. Listings for the 1937 Bank of Canada issue have been expanded, with separate entries for prefix varieties issued in lower quantities.
Reflecting the vibrantly healthy state of this growing hobby, almost all price changes have been in the positive direction, with very few downward corrections. In previous editions of the book, the "stars" were usually the 1935 first Bank of Canada notes, showing the largest price increases. This year, however, they have been somewhat eclipsed by replacement notes. While the 1935 issues continue their inexorable rise in value, some replacement note entries have increased by 100% or even more. Although they remain controversial, many of the modern "insert" replacement notes have likewise increased significantly in value.
Dominion notes have shown stronger and more broadly based advances than they have for several years. Uncirculated Princess Patricia $1 notes in particular have moved sharply higher. Some of the early provincial treasury notes, which remained static through several editions, have moved upward. Notes issued by the Newfoundland government have remained stable, with modest increases affecting top grade black and white cash notes. It has been determined that the Keating-Brownrigg signature combination on 1920 treasury notes is scarcer than had been thought, resulting in increased values for them.
The emergence of the 1937 Bank of Canada issue from its former lethargy is quite striking. As the 1935 notes increasingly become priced out of reach of many collectors, attention appears to be turning to the 1937 series, as indicated by price increases across most varieties and conditions.
Special number notes remain popular, and prices have again moved ahead for many low number, radar and ladder listings. Among error notes, one new type has been listed and illustrated, having the bar code absent from the back of the note. Notes showing signature errors have generally increased in value.
The 17th Edition Government Paper Money consists of 360 pages, in 5½" x 8 ½" page format. The book will continue the spiral binding format which has proved popular with most users.
