mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 6:31 pm Hello, Please tell me the grade and authenticity of this Canadian note. Does the Queen's hair in this bill possess the devil's image? Also, would pressing this note for a few weeks to remove 'some' of the current creases do anything to elevate the current grade? Thanks, mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: Also, would pressing this note for a few weeks to remove 'some' of the current creases do anything to elevate the current grade? Do NOT press the note. That is the same as cleaning a coin. When you press a note, you are removing the original embossing. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 8:00 pm Canadian Banknotes, could you please post a good picture (if you have one) like the above, but without the red shading? I have never seen a quality pic of two side by side. I can still make out the Devil face in the right hand version so sometimes I am not sure if what I have is the right one. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

The picture on the left is the Devils Head note. I don't have another picture without the red highlighting, but mdpmedia has posted one.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 10:39 pm mpdemedia, thanks for the great pic. I looked online before but with no success. And thanks for the other pic Canadian Banknotes. I used to live near the border and remember, as a kid, looking at these bills in circulation but not ever really being sure if the face was prominent enough to be an actual one or not. It has been a loooooooooooooooooooooong while since I have looked at the bills I have. Now I will have to get them back out and compare them. BTW - I am trying to price up a 5 and ten from this era. I need nothing expensive or rare - just decent condition - what might I expect to pay? How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
