4033ryan Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 02/13/2012 10:10 pm Got this two dollar bill off ebay, paid $108.00. I might of over paid a little but I've been looking for this note awhile and it seemed most auctions were going $125 +. Any grade idea? Thanks, Ryan Report this Post to the Staff

The Bill Collector Valued Member United States 486 Posts	Posted 02/13/2012 11:25 pm Looks great but it's very hard to tell a grade just by looking at photos, from what I can tell it's clean, has good eye appeal, and doesn't seem to have any hard folds must be VF or XF, and if it is in that grade range I think it was a very good price Regards The Bill Collector Report this Post to the Staff
Baanos Valued Member Canada 290 Posts	Posted 02/14/2012 01:02 am Seems like a VF to me. Paper is broken in at least two places, perhaps 3. Those were not light folds too. Corners show some sign that they are worn but not too much. I would definitely not grade it as XF. Report this Post to the Staff
almingbg Valued Member Sweden 71 Posts	Posted 02/14/2012 02:30 am My first guess (from the picture only) is that the note is closer to fine than VF; but I'm not at all good in grading "American style", only "European style". Report this Post to the Staff

The Bill Collector Valued Member United States 486 Posts	Posted 02/14/2012 10:39 am You guys must have much younger eyes than me . Without actually "seeing" it I would still say it's at least VF. I can up load a photo of what a VF note looks like that's been graded by a professional grader if need be, and for sure it don't look like that $ 2.00 Regards The Bill Collector Edited by The Bill Collector 02/14/2012 10:40 am Report this Post to the Staff
coinsearcher83 Pillar of the Community United States 1358 Posts	Posted 02/14/2012 10:40 am I was going by all the wear lines seen on Jefferson's portrait. Just seems like too many for an EF note to me. Report this Post to the Staff
The Bill Collector Valued Member United States 486 Posts	Posted 02/14/2012 10:48 am Ok, Now I see them, had to use a glass but your right they are there, still a nice looking note and for my eyes I would still say high F, or maybe low VF. Bet I could still get a job with PCGS Regards The Bill Collector Edited by The Bill Collector 02/14/2012 10:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
