1979 Canada $20 Signatures

Abbc10

So I found these 1979 Canadian $20's in my stuff and I see that the Crow signature is on a different side on the top bill in the photo. They are all from Ottowa 1979 so I would guess they should all be the same.

Is that of interest to any collectors or is that just a random mistake?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I show a possibility of three different signature combinations for the 1979 BOC $20.

Your top note is P-93b with the Crow-Bouey signatures (Deputy Governor J Crow & Governor Bouey). Gerald Bouey resigned as Governor & John Crow took his place. Next 5 notes have the (Gordon) Thiessen & John Crow signatures. See below to put a face to the deputies & governors in question:

What's more relevant (the business end of the note) is the reverse. What are the FIRST 3 NUMBERS in the serial number on the back. Serials. which start with "510" & "516" are replacements & pretty scarce compared with all the other numbers.

See: this 1979 BOC $20 link on Numista for more technical info.

they all start with either a 522 or a 565 the top one, with the signature on the "other" side, starts with a 564.

I appreciate all the help.

They're very common $20 & not the most popular of BoC notes (due to the machine code like serial numbers). Check this site out which gives the the top column value (barely above face value FV). Best bet is to offer as a "lot" (or 2 lots) & try selling them on a forum since eBay charges too much to make a profit. (You might also try a FB auction group).
