Hello,
Another note for your appraisal.
I believe this is the lowest mintage in the series. 16k mintage.
Thank you in advance

This is a nice note to have although the printed quantities can be misleading especially in replacement notes. In this series the scarcest is the *V/E even though it had an 80,000 quantity printed only a fraction got circulated as opposed to *A/E with 16,000 printed but i believe was fully circulated.

Please don't tell us you paid $25 including taxes and fees! On a more serious note '54 asterisk notes are not selling that well even in Gem Unc. I see regular issue notes outselling asterisk notes these days in high grades. No idea about low grade notes though.

When looking at the latest guide for 2019 (31st edition) i noticed that most of these * notes took an overall hit downward in prices in pretty much all grades. Its really disappointing. Its a good time to buy but not to sell.

The bidding is still going on. The current bid is at $55 cad. Not sure if I will pursue it. Thank you for your knowledge.
Best!

- I agree (& its a good time to buy world notes).
Recently, I have been delving into World currency. I picked up a BEP 1957 $1 SC "Star Note." I posted this note on another site and a veteran US collector replied that "307 Million were printed." I was floored (but fortunately I bought it well below BV).
So I have been left with the impression that many 1950's Star notes are "a dime a dozen" in the US. I also read (& heard) that US collectors have more an impact on our market than Canadian collectors. They may have tuned out of the CDN asterisk replacement market ("Stars" to the US collector). (On a side note: they certainly have not tuned out on 1935 or 1937's. Just try to buy one of these and you'll find how dear they've become).

The amount found/remaining is the most important variable in any mintage. The DF astricks are rare since only a few dozen were found/kept in each signature and denomination (excluding the less rare $1). Polymer $20 prefix BSW had 270,000 mintage and yet very few found. This modified series astricks in VF condition is not rare by any means.
