They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This bill I won today on ebay for $11.95 is can be on of the most expensive bills in Korean currencies. However, this fella is in terrible condition, but I could not pass up the opportunity to have it in my book. Its not the prettiest in the world, but holy smokes am I happy!

If you got this bill, what would you grade it as? I am hoping low VG at best. What do you all think?

The tape marks pretty much take it out of any gradable condition. But with this, you knew that starting out, I would hope. Its a fun note to have in the book. Perhaps some day you might be able to get one in a little better condition.

@coin197, thank you! I figured it would be a very low AG/G.

@moxking, Yes I knew it from the beginning but its such a nice bill and normally ridiculously expensive that $12 was nothing for it.

Thanks for the help!

Always fun to fill in a hole. Maybe someday you'll upgrade.
