Union Bank of Canada

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

First time posting.

I may have  access to a 1903 Union Bank $5.00 note , likely very good but soiled.

Unable to find much information on scarcity or current approximate value.My 1980

Charlton suggests a value of $300.00.

Any information will be most appreciated.

My 2002 edition gives it $325 in Good.

Good find!  Current catalogue valuation is $625 for Good, $1,250 for VG.  This is a tough note and in demand.  I don't think you would have a lot of trouble selling it for at least book value AS LONG AS YOU DON'T TRY TO "IMPROVE" IT in any way.
I'd be interested in the sheet number/check letter/sheet number colour (red or blue) for the register.  Red sheet numbers aren't known (yet) on notes below Fine condition.  The values I quoted are for blue.  If yours has red numbers, add approximately 25% to the value. 
Any chance of posting an image?

Thanks for the replies,. 

If I am able to deal on this note , will post  further information

Hi again,

Have acquired the Union Bank note.  and will post a scan when I can figure out

how to do it.

The sheet # is 189520 - blue  and check letter is B ?

The note is not for sale, as it will be part of a display in our local Royal Bank's history.

 

Here is scan of the note. Hope the size isn't too large, I wanted to show some quality.

Sorry but I cannot see the scan.  Am I the only one??
