1954 $1000 Devil's Face misprint error.

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

Theoretically speaking, how much would a Beattie/Rasminsky $1000 Devil's face in UNC be worth.....

Let's say, somebody used the wrong face plate on a batch/sheets of $1000 notes, using the Devil Face plate, not the modified one. (I'm talking about the signatures that are letterpressed/added later to the bill, not the Beattie/Rasminsky notes where it is engraved right on the printing plate.)  They were printed and cut, but discovered the error only after the notes were shipped out to a major bank, i.e. in Toronto. Immediately, the CBNC/BOC issued an urgent memo to return the notes to the BOC for destruction. But before the bank got the memo, a couple of notes slipped into circulation, i.e. a customer requested a few $1000 notes at that main branch and they gave out a couple of the new shipment of $1000 notes they just received in error. How much do you figure, that note would be worth? Also, the notes weren't counted yet at the bank, so the note didn't even have a counting creases. How would you value such a note?

I'd like to see a scan.

I'd like to see a scan.

Seeing you are speaking in theoretic's I'll assume a scan is not available.
Reg Devil UNC's go for 11-12K

If such a piece did exist and could be confirmed to be genuine probably upwards of 20k

The bill. Also take a look at this link:

Crazy, thats a Beattie Ras serial #.
Right at the front end too of the serials too.

So does this thing really exist ?

You'd have too see it and hold and examine it too know for sure. You can do pretty much anything with a good photoshop program

While leaving the door open to the possibility that it is real, I am siding with buxvet. I know quite well that anything can be done with Photoshop.
