Need a bit of info, bought a few coins from a friend/dealer yesterday and I picked up a Canada one dollar note, we both were talking and he had on the tag, 1967 Canada one dollar so I gave him what he asked for, $5, well, looked at it when I got home and it is a 1954 ' modified' note and a asterisk and a 'repeater' serial no# 0011440, which I think is called a repeater?, well I've got to get in touch with him because I would think it is worth more than $5 so, my question is- what do I pay him extra? Thanks for all replies.  |

Hey SHAFT, the serial number isn't a repeater and doesn't add any extra value, what is important is the prefix, signatures and approximate grade.

I agree.
Not a repeater, just 3 pairs.
No extra value.
An * denotes a replacement note
so depending on signature and prefix,
it might have some extra value.

Cheers, Bill

Now with a prefix, we can give you some info on your bill.
It is as stated earlier a replacement note.
There were approx. 40,000 printed by CBN.
Beattie-Rasminskey is the second of three different signatures used on the 1954 Modified Series.
The book price in VF condition is $12.00.
(Probably worth closer to $7-8.00)
Hope this helps some.

I don't think paying anything extra is in order. You win some, you lose some.

The note is worth what you paid, give or take $1 or $2, depending on the buyer. If your friend is a dealer, they ought to know the value of the items they sell or more importantly, what to sell them at to make a profit.
Adding more money, especially a matter of a coffees worth, just doesn't seem like a good idea since it kind of implies your friend doesn't know what they should price things at.
I don't think your friend will feel betrayed if he valued the bill at $5 and you value it at $7.
What's a few bucks amongst friends?

Your 'good idea' and, my 'good idea' are a bit different my friend.

Perhaps it's just me, but when 2 parties agree upon a deal, isn't the deal done? I could understand if your buddy/coin dealer somehow gave you the wrong bill he intended to, and you scored a $500 bill for $5, but I thought the difference was a matter of less than the cost of s happy meal.
Is it possible that your friend/dealer made enough of a profit off the other items you purchased that they happily cut you (a small) break of this $1 bill?
I really like the car I bought off a friend of a friend in November. I just started getting it ready for the road for spring and had a neighbor offer me $2000 more than I paid for it. Should I be feeling bad about not going back to the guy I got it from and paying him more?

Nothing. I gotta do nothing.
That dancing apple is worth more than I bargained for, let me write you a cheque.
