snaz Valued Member Canada 351 Posts	Posted 04/27/2008 9:26 pm I got it for 35 bucks. Overpaid by a little bit I think. He was asking 40. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
alterego New Member Canada 9 Posts	Posted 04/27/2008 9:41 pm Is there a lot of demand for these bills?... the shop I work for has 6 or 7 of them in the same and better condition, I'm not sure if they are priced appropriately or not they are asking between $30 and $70 a piece. We generally don't get a lot of people in the shop looking for coins and bills compared to the number looking for jewellery and bullion. Report this Post to the Staff
snaz Valued Member Canada 351 Posts	Posted 04/27/2008 9:52 pm well. it all depends on the signatures on them. theres 4 different combinations, and also if its authorized. under the left hand 25 cent symbol it will either say "AUTHORIZED BY R.S.C. CAP 31." or it will look like mine and not have anything there at all. The authorized ones are generally worth more,ranging about 45 - 135$ VF- EF. From what I gather, talking to guys at shops, is that most people just buy these to carry around in their wallets and show off. I doubt Ill ever buy one for over 60 bucks Report this Post to the Staff
alterego New Member Canada 9 Posts	Posted 04/27/2008 10:32 pm I'm just curious as to which side of the bill the authorization is on? Brendan Report this Post to the Staff
snaz Valued Member Canada 351 Posts	Posted 04/27/2008 10:50 pm on the side with the writing. If it has a Big black letter next to the 25 Icon on the left like in the picture on mine, it isn't authorized. Heres a comparison for you Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 04/28/2008 06:40 am Hey! snaz, Nice shinplaster, it looks to be in about VF condition. You may, have paid a bit more, but like they say "they don't make 'um anymore" LOL If it will reach EF according to the Charlton Paper Money catalogue, it's worth $75.00. BTW- alterego, Welcome to the forum. Edited by SHAFTA9a 04/28/2008 06:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
