Title: 1954 Beattie-Coyne $1000
Post by: ewing on March 14, 2015, 06:50:45 pm
Hi!

I have a 1954 Canadian $1000 bill (no devil face) that I would like to know more about…
Not sure of its actual value, but I do know that the signature Beattie/Coyne combo is less frequent.
I believe it is in very good condition, no tear but has circulated, bend, but has a number written on with a pen (as you can see “1743" in the pic) How does the pen mark affect it's value?

Should I hang on to it?

Thanks!

In my opinion its a spender...I personally would rather have the grand and use it else where, but what do I know  :)

If you decide to sell it I would be interested.  Thanks

In that condition, definitely its only going to be worth face value...unless you find some buyer that deems it worth more....if you use and/or store cash, I would keep it, it is a lot easier to count 1 x $1000, instead of 50 x $20

and also easier to lose 1 banknote than 100 banknotes :)

You'll get a much better return on that if you take it to the bank and buy a term deposit with it. If someone had done that in 1960 it would have been worth $10,000 today instead of just $1,000.
