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 note as crisp uncirculated with detail (light small stains along top edge). The note is in excellent condition and great looking with no signs of wear. The note retains all of its original stiffness and crispiness. It has no folds, no tears, no graffiti, no pinholes and no repairs. The edges are intact and show no roughness. The corners are fully squared and intact. Just a nice scarce, in this condition, banknote for the most advanced collector of Mexican banknotes. Please see photos for additional condition information.
