Of course, you would know better since the note is in hand but, from the pics, I see what certainly resembles a pinhole in the upper left margin of the front and, another one, in the top margin of the back, left of center, over the DO of One Dollar. If I were using the pics as a buying tool, this would make me pass. Edited by ron6788

The mark in the upper left obverse margin was a bit of gunk on the holder (gunk removed, see below). The reverse mark you mention is simply not there, must be some lighting fluke. Appreciate your input as always!   |

It's amazing what pics can and can't do, sometimes. I bought a note one time and there was a huge horizontal crease through the portrait that didn't even faintly show up on the pics. I still have the note and, one day, I'm going to post the pics, before and after, as a kind of show and tell. It's why one needs a return policy, even on slabbed stuff with pics.

I temporarily put the note into a used holder after buying it (in person), then forgot to clean the holder before taking a pic.  But I agree with you - I wouldn't have bought it from that first pic either! |

Got this repeater from the bank yesterday. Too bad someone wrote on it and it is in circulated condition. Oh well it is still going in my collection.  |

Steve - How did you come to acquire these three companion "12" notes - as a lot, I'm guessing?

I had the 12 first, and a friend gave me a lead on the 123 and 1234 as a set.
