Condition: I would grade the note as a nice Extremely Fine. The note is lightly soiled and has two light vertical folds and a couple of bumps or light creases. It has some spots of a bit heavier soiling especially on the back. The note has no pinholes, no graffiti, no tears, and no splits. Its corners are intact with minimum rounding. The note retains most of its original stiffness and crispiness. It is nicely margined and is great looking. A nice note which would make a nice addition to your collection.
