The note is soiled, has stains mostly on the back along the edges, and has general roughness along the edges and some losses along the bottom edge. The note has no graffiti, no pinholes, no tears, and no splits. Its corners are intact with some rounding and many bumps. The note has folds and general wrinkling. It may have been lightly flattened. Other than that, it looks good and would make a nice addition to your collection.
