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

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:

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!
