I'm wondering what the value of this might be?
1954 $1000 note signed Thiessen/Crow
s/n: A/K1967863
It has folds in the center but in otherwise good condition.
Thanks in advance for any help.

The 1954 $1000 Modified banknote with Thiessen-Crow signatures was the last of the 1954 $1000 notes
to be issued. Notes with this signature combination were issued into circulation in 1992 and were used until
the new Bird Series $1000 notes were ready for release.
Records show that 240,000 of these notes were printed but only a small fraction of that amount were actually
released into circulation, with the majority not being issued and eventually destroyed.
The number of collectors who actually collect $1000 banknotes is small, and as such, there is a limited demand
for this banknote in the marketplace. It is difficult to assign a grade to your note without seeing an image or
physically examining the note. Based on your brief description I would presume that the note is graded VF or
better. Here are current catalogue values for that note based on grade:
VF $1250
EF $1400
AU $1800
UNC $2400
I hope this helps answer your query.
