I’m a little confused here, trying to nail down the pick number of this 1937 $ . I think it’s pick 58c or d, prefix is J/L. Any idea?

    It looks like a Pick 58b Gordon/Towers to me.

    Thanks guys. I really thought it was c or d and now the pmg site is down. Will look again when it's up and try to make sense of this.

    P-58d Gordon - Towers (K/A to O/M - a lot of prefixes)

    P-58b is the Gordon Towers $1.00 with H/A prefix & "c" is with the J/A prefix. P-58e is the same note with the "Coyne Towers" signatures.

    I'm sorry but I'm still confused. My note is J/L. I just don't understand which of the following mine is (from the PMG site). It seems like the best fit is 58c. But nothing quite matches. The choices:

    Banque du Canada / Bank of Canada
    58b
    1937 Issue
    1 Dollar
    Signature Gordon-Towers. Narrow (9mm) Signature panels. Prefix H/A.

    58c
    Select Banque du Canada / Bank of Canada
    1937 Issue
    1 Dollar
    Signature Gordon-Towers. as b1. Prefix J/A.

    58d
    Select Banque du Canada / Bank of Canada
    1937 Issue
    1 Dollar
    Signature Gordon-Towers. Wide (11mm) Signature panels. Prefix K/A-O/M.

    I’m sorry, but I’ve been studying your answers for half an hour and I just need someone to tell me definitely what the pick number is. I know you’re trying to help but I don’t understand where slashed letters fall in all this. I really appreciate your attempts but these lists don’t help because I don’t know how the wheels turned and how the prefixes were ordered. Can someone just say with confidence which one it is?

    Per an old Charlton Catalogue (20th edition 2008) to me it would appear to be a BC-21C.
    Hope this helps.

    Thank you. Sounds like a different numbering system but putting my trust in you! Sounds like it must be a 58-d, much as I’d prefer b. Do I I have that much right?
