1954 $1000 Canadian Dollar bill value?

Hi all,

We have a couple Canadian $1000 dollar bills from 1954 signed by Lawson/Bouey. I am not an appraiser but they have never been used and in my view are like new. Just wondering how much they are worth.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome!

I went to J&M's site and found these retail prices. All amounts are in US Dollars.

EF - $1,200
AU - $1,300
UNC - $1,600

 

Those would be interesting to have.

 

1954 $1000 Canadian Dollar Bill

Thank you both for replying. It would be wonderful if we could find someone interested in buying them at that price!

Do you have any suggestions on how to find a buyer or dealer who would be interested in them?

Thanks!

 

No dealer would pay that amount they will pay less, they need to turn a profit to stay in business. You may get a better deal by selling to a collector, Ebay may be your best bet but there are drawbacks.

Thanks for your reply.

We just wanted a general idea of the amount we could get for them. Not greedy but if we can get above dollar amount would be thrilled. First time we have thought about selling them and want to make sure they are not worth a ton and sell them for face value. :smile

 

Post some pictures, you may find someone on here to buy them. Where are you located?

 

Oh they are certainly worth more than face value. Its just a question of whether you want to go to a dealer and get less (but have money in hand for sure) or get more by selling online (with all the risks that accompany it).

I will try to get a clear picture of one of the bills and post online. Tried to scan it but it didn't work.

We don't really care who we sell them to (either to a dealer or collector). Since we never sold before and are not knowledgeable enough to rate it accurately (they look great to us), we dont know what would be best to do. We are open to anything but want to fairly represent the bills.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

Doesn't someone have a Canadian note price guide?

 

CANADIAN COIN NEWS did occasionally. I let my subscription expire but kept the last one I received - OCTOBER 4, 2005.

It lists the 1954 $1000 note at:
FINE - face value
VF - $1,100
EF - $1,250
AU - $1,500
UNC - $2,000

NOTE: All Canadian Coin News values are in Canadian $'s so you'll have to do a conversion to U.S. $'s.

Hopefully someone with an up to date CCN will read this and provide more current values than what I have listed.

 

Dealer wouldn't pay as much because they need to make money off of it. i'd be interested in seeing a few picture's of these bills.
