    Hi everyone, I just started collecting money with canadian pennies from various years and different currency from around the world. Now today, I should mention that I work in retail at a cash register, so anything that comes in I am allowed to buy at face value. So today, as I came back from my lunch and I am giving 60$ to a customer, under the 20$ is a 1954 canadian 100$ bill. So I bought it for 100$. Now come to find out it has a devils face in the Queens hair...It is in mint condition too. Can anyone give me an idea on if it is worth a little more? I looked on the internet that it might be worth something more than 100$.

    Thanks,

    Bee in Canada.

    Can you provide a picture or tell me who made it. Like Beattie-Coyne or Coyne-Towers which were the only one for this particular bill. I doubt it is mint since since it has been and a cash register and in someones hands. Notes are graded very specific. It must have full gem and 0 creases or even little folds.

    Need to see a good scan of the note.

    It is a devil's head. In that condition it would retail for about $200-$300. $100 banknotes are a tough sell though.

    I'll check my guide tonight to see if the prefix will bring up the value (I'm at work at the moment).

    Not a bad find. It does have a center crease and some corner folds, though, so it's not in mint condition.

    Correct. Mint condition means just that. No folds, no creases, no bumps, no warping, no tears, no stains, no nothing!

    Yours is in maybe VF-EF condition which is miles away from being minty.

    I am not sure if I am right but it is Coyne-Towers so more on the range of probably 175 - 250

    Thanks for all the info. This is the first bill that I have bought. I wasn't even going to get it either.
