I have a friend with a one dollar bill, 1973, sn FD6583758,  any ideas on it's value?

By looking at the picture, the note is VG. They are only worth face value in VG and F condition and only worth $1.25 in VF. They are very eazy to get being the last 1 dollar bills before making them into a coin. Cool thing is that the serial number was almost a repeater.

BTW: a repeater would have been FD7583758

I just recently bought a BARXXXXXXX 1973 in AU++ for $1.50 at the Paris show.  I occassionally buy good quality low denomination notes and give them to my students as rewards.  1973 $1.00 regular issue notes are as common as grass. The note you have shown here is in fairly poor condition so you'd be best to spend it, or better yet, go to McDonalds and see the reaction on the cashier's face when you give it to them.  Add a couple quarters to it, and you could get a decent one at a show.  The decent one may actually climb in value...as notes seem to be very popular, and there's no end in sight.

That's why I said almost.  

1973 One Dollar with diamond(dot) on Queen's lips

The white dot on the Queen's lip seems to be due to the fact that one of those small coloured paper "security" discs has peeled off. These discs peel off all the time, especially from well-circulated notes. I've seen these peeled-off white patches on all Bank of Canada issues since 1935. They can be very annoying to the purist collector but most collectors accept the reality. However, a missing security disc in a very prominent place on an Unc $25 1935 note might be a bit more of a problem ....
