Title: BC-58b-i 1991 $20 Bonin/Thiessen Error Note S/N ASP5440150
Post by: Pepi09 on January 27, 2022, 06:25:59 pm

Hi All:  This is my first post and looking for your opinions.  I've checked the 2020 Canadian Government Paper Money Charlton Guide but not sure where to look to determine a value for this bill.  Not sure why the background picture of the front of the bill is pink but I can assure you the bill is not pink.  Comments on grade/worth are appreciated.  Thank you.

Great find! I'd think VF possibly lower without seeing it in person. Value wise IMO $150-$250

You have a really good eye! Where did you find this 20?

Hi JB-2007, Unfortunately, I did not find this in the wild.  I purchased at an auction.  I am still interested in this community's opinion on grade and worth.  Thanks

The Book Value (BV) for E1 (up to 25% Incomplete Printing) according to Charlton is $175 for a $20 in UNC. The note in question looks to be around Fine to VF (Very Fine) so that would be about 33% (between 25 & 40%) or about $65.00. This is a very "ballpark" figure & its hard to say what it would bring on the hammer in today's heated market.

Cool error but its got a centre edge tear and some ink the back corner.
