Condition: I would grade this banknote as choice very fine with all the details being very well preserved. The note has several light vertical folds and a light horizontal fold. The note is lightly soiled but has no objectionable large stains. It does have a light stain in the bottom left corner and rust marks from a paper clip in the center of the top edge on the back. It still retains quite a bit of its original stiffness and crispiness. The banknote is intact with no tears or splits. The note shows minor roughness along the edges with some wrinkling along the top and bottom edges. It has a couple of minor nicks at the ends of the folds. The corners are intact ad mostly squared with minor rounding, if any. All in all, this is a nice note to add to your collection. Please see the scan for additional condition information.
