Condition: I would grade this rather nice note as very fine or much better. The note is lightly soiled and has some staining, with an obvious stain in the top left corner of the back. The note is crisp and retains quite a bit of its original stiffness and crispiness. It has a vertical central crease but no tears or splits. It also has light wrinkling and some bumps. The edges are intact showing minimum wear. The corners are intact and squared with minimum rounding. The note has no graffiti and no pinholes. Again, the note retains quite a bit of its original stiffness and crispiness. Its colors are vivid and show no fading. All in all, an extremely nice-looking example of this great historic note, which would make a great addition to your collection. Please see photo for additional condition information.
