Not sure if this should be moved to the Banknote forum, but I thought I would put it here to start with.


Finally got around to scanning these and getting them up on BnB. Without a Pick catalog, my reference numbers are based on the few samples on Ron Wise's site, and also from eBay listings. If there are any omissions or errors, please advise so that I can correct them.

These are note in the greatest of shape, but I feel the wear and tear on them gives them "character". There are 2 more signatures for the 1900 series (J.M. Courtney & J.C. Saunders), which I hope to eventually add, if I can find an affordable (aka worn!) example.

These are wonderul. I had some of these when I collected Canadian Large Cents when I was a kid. (Yes, Canada had been invented when I was a kid! )

Have to image mine, I have an 1870 issue that I have owned for a long time, I cannot remember how or when I got it, just remember having even when I was a kid.

WOW

Nice

Neat. That second one probable has among the most creases I've seen on a 25c.

IMO the 1870 series are considerably undervalued.

The knackered 1900 ones often turn up over here in New Zealand.I've been offered a few,but the dealers want too much for them.I finally got sent a nice 1900 & a nice 1923 from a dealer in Portage la Prairie,Manitoba,who sent them to me as a gift along with a 1947C Newfoundland 1c. I bought for C$5.It was an odd $5 Canadian I came across,so I offloaded it to get it.I've never seen any of the 1870's.

Aidan.

Here is mine. I paid 10c for it from the late Eddie Nowark at a local coin show a few years back. If it isn't still legal tender I think I paid too much.

They looks great.
