Devil Face?

Post by Renee272 » Thu Jun 01, 2023 10:48 am

Hi! I'm new to collecting and currently sorting through an inherited collection. Is this a bill with a devil face?

Welcome to the world of paper money, Renee272!
I'm new to collecting and currently sorting through an inherited collection.
-Getting organized is a great first step in understanding what you have. This site also has an online pricing guide for Bank of Canada series from 1935 to our current Vertical $10 series in the link below:
https://www.coinsandcanada.com/banknotes-prices.php

Once you take the link, & scroll down, you will see:
Canadian banknotes of 1954 with the devil's face link are just above the Canadian banknotes of 1937 section. Take it and look for the values on the $1.00 for the "BEATTIE-COYNE" version. I cannot see your prefix (letter like C/A) before the serial number, nor tell the condition of your note but it will probably be F (Fine) to EF (Extra Fine). This is the typical condition range of most circulated notes.

Here is Coinsandcanada's link to grading:
https://www.coinsandcanada.com/banknotes-grading.php

After you read their "Grading" section, it will become apparent that a note in better (crispy uncirculated UNC ) condition, the more desirable/higher the book value (BV). With this in mind you will want to handle your inherited collection very carefully & keep them in decent currency sleeves. Store the notes in a dry place. Also the BV is a price range & not necessarily what you will get for your note (so take it with a grain of salt).

Have fun discovering what you have!
