Picked this up recently. It is an early-generation CGA note from a period when (like PCGS, e.g.) holders were thinner and you could actually see natural paper wave through the plastic - not possible anymore from any service, unfortunately, with today's rigid holders. This has a clear wave to it. It is the most common of the Educationals, of course, but somehow it is still my favorite.  |

Wow! She is gorgious! Prettiest I've seen! I Can't get over how nice it is yet! I went to an old coin store that din't have much currency and didn't know much about currency. They had a $1 educational for $100 and it was VF! Asked him what he would do for it and he said he'd take $90! Picked that sucker up quickly!

That was back when our paper currency actually had eye appeal...

Yes, a shame. Bisons, Chiefs, Black Eagles, battleships - one wonders if people back then enjoyed those beautiful notes the way we do now!

I'm a firm believer in "Buy the note, Not the holder", and this Chief has amazing eye appeal for an XF example.  |

Very nice, faces up (in this scan) even better. Looks like a typical 4-fold. Given the size of these notes, it's a wonder that any of them survived without at least one crease. Nice pick-up.
