I came across a local listing of a collector selling a few international bills and a couple Canadian. One of them is a nice-looking $100 Devil's Face Coyne-Towers bill. I am hesitant to post the picture on their listing, just in case that is not allowed on the forum for copyright, etc. A sticker on the sleeve says "UNC", but I would have to see the bill in person. There appears to be no folds. What would be a reasonable price to offer if is UNC, and what if it is AU?

Reasonable? $ 100 until you have item in hand to examine. then , have the seller send it for grading, just to be sure.
recently sent one I thought was MS, also devils face. cam back as a EF45.

Be careful. EF notes with very little handling, especially if they don't have any major folds, can look UNC at a glance.

don't do it ! Buy a certified one if you really think you want one !

For the amount of money involved, buy a certified one. Are you able to tell if it's been pressed, therefore not original or EPQ?

Yes be careful, do not pay full price until certified!

A raw bill of this value needs to be certified, unless you're paying half of the trend.

Thanks for your advice. I will ask the seller if they can send it for certification. I am new to grading notes so I probably wouldn't trust myself to do it right. I would definitely want to see the bill in person before I even make an offer.

Paying $100-$110 you're safe.

How much is the seller asking for the note? When it comes to UNC, it can be UNC, Choice UNC, or GEM UNC.
According to the Charlton catalog, a Coyne-Towers signature $100 Devil's Face, is valued at $900, $1100, $1500 for UNC, CH UNC, GEM UNC.
For the Beattie-Coyne signature the prices are $1150, 1450, 1850.
I doubt you could get if for $100-110 if it is really UNC.

MoneyPenny: Those prices in Charltons.... You will find at most shows are competitive at 60-80% of Charlton prices..

Thanks for your responses. I was just asking because I thought I might get a deal if the seller didn't have lots of information on it. The seller has no listed price but a sticker on the sleeve in the photo says $210. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-art-collecti...onFlag=true#I hope this link works. |

Shieplier, I would not buy it with a picture like that. You can only see one corner - and it has a bump on it. IMO the bill has been in a wallet. I can see down the middle (under "Bank" from "Canadian Bank Note Company Limited) that there's a backward fold, characteristic of a light wallet fold.

There is not way that banknote is UNC, maybe a XF or XF-. Having said that, the seller has very interesting stuff. That $100 specimen  |

Those two spec notes are actually very nice!..
I would agree that this is NOT UNC and is at best AU50 or EF +..
I also like the Royal Bank of Canada $10 note.. while it looks like it has been wet pressed... all in all it's very clean and appealing..
