This is one of my favorite Canadian banknotes; had it graded and now asking your opinions on value. Thanks

The current catalogue value of the note in AU grade is CAD $ 225 (Charlton # 665-10-02).

The catalogue also states:

"This spurious bank was a fraud perpetrated by some rogues from Buffalo during the summer of 1837.  Their paper circulated to some extent in the Buffalo area, but not in Canada."
