1954 $2 test bill value

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

I inherited a 1954 $2 bill that I've been told is a test bill and is worth a lot of money. I know nothing about it. I have it listed on ebay and want to make sure I get close to what its worth. S N is G/R 0022060. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me. Alisha.

Posting a scan of the note, would help determine a grade.

Ive been trying to upload the scan but it doesnt appear, even though it has said upload successful.

This note is very scarce (248,000 printed) and is only listed in the Charlton price guide in VG (Very Good - $2,500) and AU (Almost Uncirculated - $8,000) condition. Its hard to tell from the scans, but your note is probably a VF.

I would guess that the value of your note is around $3,500.   

Thank you so much for the information. That's great news, wow!

Thank you so much for the information.

No Problem, I am not sure if you can still change the title to your eBay auction, but if you can I would suggest adding "G/R Test Note" to the title. It should attract more bidders, and get you a higher price for the note.

Yes, you can still change the title of your listing.  I have done it a couple of times.  It will take a few minutes to show up on searches.

This brings the total of confirmed G/R test notes to 11 now !

The note has been added to the Wiki Site.

aliqu2002: Can you tell us the plate numbers on the note?
