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 nice fine or much better. The note has vertical folds and a horizontal fold. It has some light wrinkling and bumps at the corners as well as some rounding. The note has general soiling and a few minor stains here and there. The colors are a bit faded and the note is darkened by the soiling. The note is all original and shows even circulation. It has no pinholes, no graffiti, no tears, and no splits. The note shows some light signs of roughness along the edges but shows no losses. The corners are intact with some rounding and bumps but have no losses. A nice looking example of this scarce note to add to your collection. Please see photo for additional condition information.
