This item is a 1954 Canadian one-dollar banknote, which is classified as a collectible. Based on the image provided, you have a 1954 series Canadian 1 banknote. While these bills are no longer legal tender as of January 1, 2021, they still retain their face value and can be redeemed at financial institutions. Estimated Value The collector value for this specific note typically ranges from CAD 2 to 10 Signature Combination: Your note features the signatures of Beattie and Rasminsky. This combination was used later in the 1954 series production. Portrait Variety: This is the "Modified Hair" version. Early 1954 notes had a design known as "Devil’s Face," where the Queen's hair gave the illusion of a grinning face. The design was modified in 1956 to "exorcise" this detail. Notes with the "Devil’s Face" are significantly more valuable, sometimes fetching thousands in pristine condition. Condition: Collector value is highly sensitive to wear. Notes in "Uncirculated" (UNC) condition—meaning they are crisp with sharp corners and no folds—command the highest prices, often around CAD 9 to 30. Circulated notes with visible folds or wear are generally valued closer to their face amount. Pickup category timeslot {A}
