Thanks for the info.
First, see how the solid #9 ends up .... I guess 50% of suggested book value according to condition.
Second, the solid #8 $20 note listed as "NEW" and the seller indicated as "95% NEW". Not sure what his term of "NEW", however using the past and current exchange rate of @0.036 and @0.035, the listed price was between C$1,330 / C$1,368 and asking price was C$1,470 / C$1,512. Hard to tell it's fair or not for the price and also the image's resolution is too small that I can't really have a clear idea it is UNC.
Person, I had a chance to buy a UNC 1954 $5 solid #8 note about 6 / 7 years ago in one of the well know Asian country (at this time, we don't have 3 class of unc) and I had personally seen and graded as UNC (both seller and me). My offer was US$1,000 but was not success due to a US buyer to pay US$1,200 including shipping charge by FedEx. For sure solid #8 carry a significant premium from the Asian people .....
