<p>[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 3275713, member: 74863"][USER=86472]@Mark Metzger[/USER] Both are nice looking but they are common notes. Nothing special about them. The value can only be determined by condition, folds, paper crispness, stains, fading, pin holes, etc. It appears the border is cut very close on the right side of the twenty and missing a little on the left side of the same bill.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chances are you paid top dollar or close to it for these CSA notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at the obverse of the $10.00 bill. At the very top there are 2 pen marks. Normally this would lower the value but not in this case. Look at both of the signatures on the bottom of the bill. The marks at the top of the bill are from the signatures on the bill that was above this one. This is common. Value is increased when you are in possession of both bills. The serial numbers are the same but the plate number is different.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an example from my collection. This shows both bills which are a set of 1861 $10 T-30 notes.
