How Do You Grade A Bill?

As I said definitely not uncirculated a bit rough shape.

- from p. 371 of the 31st Ed. of Charlton CGPM:
ANOMALIES OF THE BIRDS OF CANADA ISSUE
"The Thiessen-Crow signature combination was intended to begin with $2 note AUK 1640000. However, notes with the Theissen-Crow signatures have been discovered in series AUG to AUN. Those of series AUJ are very scarce, while series AUG and AUH are extremely rare with Thiessen-Crow signatures."

-So there must have been a communication mix up in terms of which notes to use (& they had a surplus of Crow-Bouey already printed with they kept using with the new SN prefixes).

Your note looks to be VF & should be probably worth about $6-$7 (which is great for that condition!) It's collectible & you should put it in a currency sleeve.

BTW: if you'd like to see a short general video on grading, take a peak at the video on grading (below this reply). I've posted this on my Notaphylic Culture site:

That's a very long read lol, I stopped where building a relationship with bank tellers can be very beneficial for coin and bill hunting. I got lucky with hitting it off right away with the tellers at my bank:)

your note in it's condition is worth 2$.. in my opinion.. save it if you like..

Or what would you say the grade of this bill is? The other 2$ bills I have would probably be AU but with the prefix they have they are just worth 2$

Anything worth more then face would be a keeper for me, even if there is a small or no market atm or in the future, I'm collecting and learning. Bills are new to me, so it's a good piece for me anyways. Most people see a coin or bill with no or barely any premium(but no market) I see a collectable, for now anyways lol.

That is the Crow-Bouey signature

"rarer" is probably a bit too liberal when describing the AUG-AUN prefixes. [On "planet ebay" you may see them called rare but there many sellers call everything rare]. It would be safer to claim that these prefixes are a bit "tougher" than regular 10M runs and that's why a slight premium seen on AUG to AUN with the Crow-Bouey signature combo.

The true rarer prefixes are Thiessen-Crow AUG, AUH & AUJ & these can sell for thousands.

Thiessen-Crow with AUK, AUL-AUN are just tough like their Crow-Bouey "cousins." Many collectors have seen consecutive UNC runs of these prefixes so enthusiasm for these have waned over the past 10 years.
