Are these devil head notes or regular ones...Thought Lawson Booey signatures weren't ;D

I believe the speaker (Don Olmstead) is referring to the DF $1000 first shown, saying that it is worth about $4,000 in its current condition, but if it were uncirculated like this one (referring to the Lawson/Bouey), it would be worth about $12,000. I can't imagine Don suggesting that the L/B note would be worth $12k.

Don't forget, you can't see what Don is pointing at with his finger because the video is cropped to only show the note. Don could be pointing at an UNC DF $1000, but the camera operator moved to a different note.

Thanks for posting the video - it's a nice little promo piece from the show and if you look, you can actually see the large bourse room. It's a really nice size with very spacious aisleways and lots of dealers. Being from Ontario, it is nice for me to get out here and see a variety of new dealers that I have never met before. That means new people but more importantly, new material for me to browse through!

If you're in the Edmonton area this weekend, I highly encourage you to drop in to the convention - It's at the Delta Edmonton South hotel and you can find more information in the Shows and Events forum on this site.
