Condition: For international buyers, please note that the new US postal rates for overseas shipping for first class shipments are generally very high and we are unable to change them. Additional charges will be incurred depending on the value of the item. So please check the shipping cost to your location before bidding. I would grade this banknote as a beautiful very fine or much better (possibly about extremely fine). This is a very attractive note showing light handling. The note has light vertical folds, some light soiling, a few creases near the corners and a vertical stain near the right edge of the front. The note's paper retains quite a bit of its original stiffness, crispiness, and sheen. The corners show slight evidence of rounding if any and are intact with some bumping. The note has no graffiti, no pinholes, no tears, no splits and no appreciable wear to the edges. The note may have been pressed, but that does not distract from its beauty and quality. Just a beautiful note worthy of a spot in your collection. Please see the photos for additional condition information.
