Title: Found some old Canadian Bills
Post by: Judy on February 16, 2012, 02:21:38 pm

My recently found some 1954 Canadian bills my grandfather had.  I have a few 1's, 2's and 5's.  Unfortunately, I do not believe the 5's are the early editions with the devil's face but I would still like to know if the are worth anything.  They are in very good condition. I have a pdf scan of the bills but it is not a supported file type.

I was able to copy part of it and save it as a jpeg file.  Hope it worked.   :)

Hi there Judy,

These notes are the first signature combination of the Modified 1954 issue.  They are fairly common so they don't have a high demand and what I have written below is based solely on "guestimates" since one cannot truly appraise a note's true condition from a scan alone.

The $1.00 note has graffiti on the left upper corner (F-VF) so it would not be worth much more then face value.  The $2 is perhaps between VF (Very Fine) to EF (Extra Fine) and would book around $12 depending on whether someone is keen for that note.  The $5.00 might be F-VF (looks like there's red teller ink stains on it) which might fetch $8.00.

I hope that helps answer your question.

Thank you so much for your guesstimate!  I figured they weren't anything special but one can always hope! 

Thanks again,
Judy
