Hi,
I recently bought a 1954 $5 Mod. with Beattie-Coyne signatures, BC-39a-i, in UNC condition. I have two questions; I am wondering if the bill is authentic. One, it does not hve any "green dots" on it for security. Two, it is cut a bit oddly at the top where the white top border is 5 mm on one end and 4 mm at the other.
Could anyone answer these questions./concerns for me?
Thanks.
Edit: I put it under light and I did see some very tiny green dots in the main blue design.
Edit2: I have another question, which are more rare for this signature and denomination? The Canadian Bank Note Company Limited? Or the British American Bank Note Company Limited?
