nickelphr33k Valued Member Canada 258 Posts	Posted 12/20/2013 5:12 pm Today I went to my local pickup bank to grab a few pennies and a bird series fifty dollar bill. As I was conversing with the teller she told me she had a few $100 bills I may like. It was a bit unexpected, but I said sure I'll have a look. When she came back she showed me a few bird series $100s and a $1953 HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL! Needless to say I agreed to take it off her hands. The bill is in what I would guess to be VF. Not good at grading paper money. Here are the pics: Edited by nickelphr33k 12/20/2013 5:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I call this a rescue.. they only get sent off to be destroyed otherwise.. so kudos to you! Very nice note! I probably would be elated for a good 8 hrs with a find like this!

nickelphr33k Valued Member Canada 258 Posts	Posted 12/20/2013 7:49 pm Thanks guys! Yeah I'm still basking in the afterglow. It would have been a crime for such a note to be destroyed. Other details I have are as follows: It is a Lawson Bouey, Serial # BJ9900394, can't tell if it is a devil's face or not. Report this Post to the Staff

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 12/20/2013 8:35 pm I'm pretty sure the signatures of Lawson and Bouey are only on the banknote without devils face. Report this Post to the Staff
kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 12/20/2013 9:14 pm Correct. Lawson Bouey are only modified notes. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/bank-...ce&id_cat=20 Report this Post to the Staff

nickelphr33k Valued Member Canada 258 Posts	Posted 12/21/2013 10:03 am Devil's face or no, I am happy to have it and it will take a place of honour in my small collection of banknotes. Can't lose when you get it for face value. A good reason to have a good relationship with the local tellers. Report this Post to the Staff
