When I enlarge the pictures it almost looks like there may be remnants of a centre fold but the picture starts to distort also.

When the devil's head notes were printed in 1954, they were over-inked which made the paper slightly wavy. This can often look like minor folds in pictures, but is a sign of originality.

Ch-Unc 63, just to be contrary.

I'd love to own one that nice.

The grade given was EF40.

Could not figure out why the note was given such a low grade when it has no creases or folds and has sharp corners.
Is it misgraded? Should I try another grading company?

That's an interesting grade, and one that I wasn't expecting.

Were you able to buy it for EF money?

BCS is a very strict grader, you may say it doesn't have any folds or creases but, I'll bet it has a stain or a fold somewhere.

Also, it looks like BCS believes the note to be pressed otherwise he would have put original under the grade (as per his criteria on his website).

That's probably what happened here, it was net graded.

yup, with that grade, it's been pressed out and that is probably visible with a UV light which graders use.....Trimble is correct, in that this note lacks the "Original' designation

If a note is pressed that reduces value?
Pressed being like inside a book?

Yes, if the embossing is almost gone it's like cleaning a coin.
