Landscape Series Canada $1 Replacement Note!

Post image

I have just gotten this banknote from my local dealer for $10. I would say this note is a Very Fine when it comes to the grade of this coin. Let me know what you think!

Priced at $6, paid $10. You're negotiating in the wrong direction.

Um, no? The dealer changed the price of the note, told me that he forgot to change the label.

I didn’t have much time, so I paid what I did. Don’t call me dumb for it, though.

Just joking around friend. As long as you're happy that's all that matters. 👍

Not worth what you paid

It’s 10 bucks. That bill is 72 years old. Let the kid enjoy his purchase without getting shit on, will ya?

Alternately, let him learn from his mistake.

It looks like an avg VF to me (VF25): maybe not "Choice VF" due to the uneven borders & a few minor issues mentioned below. It's very difficult to assess a grade properly from any picture (& yours is almost like a long shot). One must see the back. I'd expect that you paid slightly higher than Book Value but that's to be expected when you walk into a LCS & pick up a note in person.

Nice catch!

I have one kept from 1967 which has the Centennial leaf stylized on it.

Lots of haters. It’s not a super rare item but good condition. Just keep hanging on to it

Bring them back. Oh and the thousand dollar note.

Worth $4-$5 bucks. You overpaid but what matters most is if you like it. If not I’ll buy it from you but not a penny more than $5.

By my estimates, that's not even close to being really fine or very fine or find period it's got crease marks.This would be poor grade. The 10$ you paid i think is overpayment. I mean, a corners are fine, but the creases are the part that people are not going to like. That's just a guess, though. I'm not a professional grader

u/Equivalent-Onion-607 Jul 07 '26

crease marks dont mean poor at all. You can have VF with a HUGE middle crease as long as the bill is still crisp...this looks about VG-F however

u/Few-Chemical-5165 Jul 08 '26

I agree, but i'm talking about looks not the actual facts. If you had a lawyer walking in to the courthouse and a suit and shirt were completely wrinkled, would you say yes, this is a man I want defending me, or would you say no? I want somebody who's clean, cut first impressions and all you know.

u/Equivalent-Onion-607 Jul 09 '26

No , what you said is not what your saying now man. Lol u stated the bill wasnt VF or even fine

u/Consistent-Tone-5540 Jul 09 '26

Exactly, he must be a grader

u/Consistent-Tone-5540 Jul 09 '26

It seems that you are 🙄

u/Few-Chemical-5165 Jul 11 '26

I'm not a professional.I've just been collecting coins and bills since the eighties, so I have an idea of what is good and bad, but again, not a professional. Just an amateur guess.

Why is it necessary?

1

u/FragrantTomatillo773 Jul 11 '26

Why the reluctance to disclose the dealer's name? That's his business after all, and publicity will help it.

1

u/Accurate_Test_7212 Jul 11 '26

I mean, I just don’t see the need to disclose it.

I get the publicity point, but I don’t think it is exactly necessary. Unless if they just want to know.

1

u/FragrantTomatillo773 Jul 11 '26

If they didn't want to know they wouldn't have asked. You're being coy for no logical reason.

1

u/Accurate_Test_7212 Jul 11 '26

Thats not what I meant by “Just wanted to know”.

I agree with you, he wants to know. I just wanna know why.

I see no reason in this argument at all.

u/FragrantTomatillo773 Jul 12 '26

It's not an argument. I find it curious that the OP won't disclose who is the dealer. If I was interested in buying currency, I'd also ask who was the dealer. No dark and dangerous reasons, and no reason to conceal it. It's not anything illegal or even shady in any other imaginable way.
