Canadian Government Paper Money A Charlton Standard Catalogue

The 21st Edition of the Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Government Paper Money will be released at the Canadian Numismatic Association convention in Ottawa, July 17 20, 2008. New in this catalogue are listings of SNRs single note replacements. This is a quite recent development in collecting, pursued by Journey Note enthusiasts. In response to a good suggestion from a contributor, the Journey note listings have now been separated into three categories regular issue notes, sheet replacement notes and single note replacements. This should make the listings much easier to navigate. Tips for Collectors introduced in the 20th edition and containing note census data and other useful information, proved to be a popular innovation. Consequently many additional Tips are provided in the new edition, and all census information, drawn from published registers, has been brought up to date. In this edition prices continue to move forward for most areas, and retreat in a few. The market for Dominion notes remains quite strong, current economic uncertainty notwithstanding, and prices have moved ahead for many issues and grades, with none in decline. The situation with Bank of Canada notes is more mixed. Notes of the 1935 issue continue to attain ever higher price levels for most denominations and grades. Notes of the 1937 issue signed Osborne-Towers show strength, while values for 1954 Devil s Face asterisk notes climb even higher. The 1954 modified portrait replacement notes show modest advances or are steady. Selected notes from the multicolour issue, and especially the birds issue, have fallen in price to reflect current market reality. A few Journey notes have declined in value, notably the $10 prefix BER printed in 2003, which is not quite as rare as it once seemed, but avid insert replacement note collectors keep demand strong for notes in their specialty. Solid number notes and especially serial number 1 notes have risen substantially in value, although demand for millions numbered notes has not been increasing. Most error note values are holding steady at this time, with very spotty increases. More listings have been added, including a few early proofs, a newly discovered replacement prefix and some new error notes, and of course new prefixes released in the past year have been brought up to date. The 21st Edition of the Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Government Paper Money consists of xxx pages, in 5.25 X 8.25 inch page format. The book will continue the popular spiral binding format. Still only $19.95.
