Canadian Ladder!

Hi All, I recently came into possession of an incredible Canadian $1 banknote with a "fancy" serial number. This 1954 $1 note is a perfect ladder: 1234567. It's been quite difficult for me to get a handle on the value, as not many comps are public. Anyone have any insight as to what this might be worth? Thanks!

Oh that's a good one.

 

A similar note sold in 2019 for just under $300.

 

Very nice note. Not easy to come by. Never found one (US) in circulation.

 

Thanks for posting! I also saw that, but isn't a 1234567 serial number more desirable than 6543210? If so, does that make it worth a bit more or a TON more?

 

Sorry, I’m not familiar with pricing for fancy Canadian notes. I’m more familiar with modern U.S. ladders, which contain 8 digits. If you want to know what people would pay, put it on eBay with a ridiculous Buy it Now price AND take offers. See what offers you get without having to sell it.

 

IDK but I think 1234567 would be a more desirable SN.

 

That's what my thought would be. But is it 20% more or like 10x more? That's what I'm having trouble figuring out.

 

very ladder note you have there

 

It's always what someone is willing to pay.
And US notes bring more. However, it is a good number but 10x doesn't seem realistic. If the paper quality and grade of the note is equal to the one in post #3,
it should be a little higher. But, in an auction setting it could go for less. All things being equal, if that one sold for $288 then the OP note should be $325 or so.
