It will be a good wake up call when the new 6th edition of the Canadian Bank Note guide comes out and prices the note just over two thousand dollars in the assigned grade. No amount of logic will be able to explain such markups.  :-\

It looks like CBC Radio in Halifax wants to interview the seller regarding who John Doull was and if there is any connection with the John W Doull bookstore in Halifax.  Given that John Doull was a dry goods wholesale businessman, it could well be a business of his descendants.  Maybe with a little publicity, this note will approach the listed amount  ::)

As they used to say in the 80s, "Greed is good".

But this is not greed, it's stupidity!

1898 Bank Of Nova Scotia $5 Note signed Doull
$688,888.00
ITEM NUMBER: 110254730241  

The "unique" Doull note is now priced at $5,500 in Fine and at $7,000 in VF in the new 6th Edition Charlton catalogue. Moreover, the catalogue reveals that 3 (three) of these Doull notes are now known to exist so the one on eBay is not as unique as it used to be!
