Hello everyone. I recently got into coin collecting by accident and bought a 1954 10$ bill with the devels face. Now I picked this up for 65$ and after looking around I think I over paid. So is it worth holding onto for my collection or should I just sell it and what should I ask for it?
Yes, unfortunately you've overpaid for that note in that grade. In my opinion, if you are looking to collect Canadian notes, I would say what is done is done, and keep it until you find a better example for your collection. I would recommend getting the Charleton banknote catalog - don't pay the listed prices, but if you are under those values, you aren't generally going too far wrong. As a side note, A/D is the first series of the Devil's face $10 - a bit of added interest. :)
As the other 2 members posted, yeah, looks like you paid "generously" for this one. And as "Norantyki" points out "what is done is one." Getting your hands on a catalogue would serve you well since there is so much great info in it. If you hold on to it for a few years you may break even (when selling).
In the meantime you could check out an online website called coindsandcanada https://www.coinsandcanada.com/bank...1&id_denom=6 for a ballpark figure for the OP note and other Bank of Canada (BOC) banknotes. Your note looks about "Fine" (or F-12) according to the chart on the site.
That`s what I figured. That`s why I`m glade I found this site you guys are incredibly helpful. I`ll probably keep it anyways as some of my collection is for the interest value and not monetary. But it is a learning processes and this site is perfect for beginners. Thanks Yall for the feedback.
Yes they told me that on the sticker on the case. That and the face were the main selling points and I thought I might be overpaying because of the condition. But I`m OK with the bill I`ll keep it.
