I noticed a couple of dimples in the bill upon closer inspection. Also noticed the presence of a green dot on both face and obv of bill. Although bad quality pics I think you can pick them up.

Something else caught my eye too. The back of the bill... My eyes are getting bad, but not that bad! Why is this offset?

The green dots are some sort of security feature I believe, mine has them too. The "offset" is a small misalignment of the printing, it's undesirable and will keep an otherwise perfect note a gem grade. It's not an error unless the design is cut.

It's definitely not UNC. Maybe EF, it's too creased to be AU.

Well the info on the offset makes me feel a little better. In that being... Better to have a slighly damaged product as opposed to a excellent fake one. In this market, what is the aprox value in your opinion?

If those are 50 cent pieces... looks like the running total is around $40 just a quick ball park.

Yes, at the time it was used as a means to check for counterfeit notes. The green dots were overlaid onto the bill during production somehow and by using a pin it was possible to loosen the green dot and actually flick it off without damaging the bank note in any way.

Those are some big coin flips! It's throwing me off lol. The Coins look like like they are the size of a half or even a quarter.

lol

I know... I know... I ran out of the 2's, and figured something was better than nothing. Never thought about it being misleading. I'm going to get some more!

I'm not the one to ask for values, but if you post the dollars in the grading section someone can help you.

The size of flips were throwing me off too! Why I thought they were 50 cent pieces.... but if those are dollars I'd say add another $20... So ball park is around $60... but that's just my opinion... silver value and for the DF note... FV for all the other notes..
