@walk2dwater, thank you for the reference and link, I'll definitely use it for bills, my friend has many 2$ bills, I was un aware the prefix and signature combination is what makes them rare. I was surprised when I was told my AUK 2$ bill was worth more then face value. Many of his bills are in good shape.

You're welcome. Yes: unlike coins, banknotes have the serial number (both # & prefix) plus a signature & even an asterisk or possibly other aspect of the SN one must consider).
That's great you have the AUK $2. Hope you found the info on my site useful.

@walk2dwater, very useful, I'm no good at grading or valuing bills, do anyone have any idea from the pictures what the 100$ and 20$ would be worth in this condition? I know it's only the one side but a rough estimate?

If the $100 is VF then it would Book at $120. Sometimes they can be a bit of a tough sell.
The $20 looks VF-EF so maybe $30-$35 but hard to say as the market seems pretty good right now (so maybe a bit more than BV, like $40). Hope that helps.

As Dorado advised....coinsandcanada.com go to the banknotes section...you can enter the denomination and serial number; click the picture of your bill it give you a value for your bill in various grades...above that is a link to grading the bill

@handie1,any many long time members here have constantly told me in my threads not to quote coinsandcanada pricing due to the fact that it is not accurate. If it goes the same for bills I am not sure, but this is what I have taken from all the threads I have made.

I find that no site or catalogue is really that accurate due to the fluctuating pricing market.
I find that the most accurate is to use eBays sold listings as that way at least
you know what people are paying for certain items.

Wow as far as I can tell on ebay people are selling modern polymer notes or a 30-50% mark up(nothing special about the bills), basically like if I pulled an uncirculated 100$ bill from an ATM or the bank and sold it for 120-200$. Why are people paying a large premium for normal even minor circulation bills? |

Your key word in your last post was "selling"".
You can't go by the selling price, sellers can ask whatever they want
to try and get someone to bite. What you have to do is go by the sold
price, that is what people are paying for them.

@jimmyD I meant sold. If you look up Canadian bills sold listing on ebay there is several just modern normal polymer notes sold at a premium. |

I believe these notes are sold to collectors outside of Canada where it is difficult to get uncirculated bank notes. In Canada, it easy to get brand new uncirculated banknotes from ATMs or bank branches. |

I agree with walk2dwater's assessment of the $100=$120 and the $20=$30 to $35. The 1954 modified series was printed in enormous amounts of hundreds of millions over 25 years. It is quite easy to find them in uncirculated condition and the notes you have are pretty poor shape to be of interest to serious collectors. The prefix A/J for $100 is one of the more common prefixes out there. They printed 5,916,000 of them and the price is $120 for VF according to the Charlton catalogue. The $20 E/W note had 60 million printed and is valued between $30-$5. |
