john517 Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 8:37 pm Very good paper quality with folds that I can really see, Strong enough corners, over all no damage. I haven't held it in hand but I would call it AU pretty confidently. Report this Post to the Staff
john517 Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 8:38 pm How is that VF? ***After reading the above post I looked at the note more closely and it looks like there may be some damage to the edges possibly water damage. I would still call this note at least EF IMO Edited by john517 02/28/2013 8:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
NightSilver New Member Canada 33 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 8:43 pm Thanks, but ya the only things wrong is horizontal center fold and vertical center fold. Report this Post to the Staff
john517 Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 8:45 pm I see no folds at all? maybe it is my computer screen or I'm just getting old Report this Post to the Staff
NightSilver New Member Canada 33 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 8:54 pm And about the possible water damage on edges, its just little wrinkles. Report this Post to the Staff
john517 Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 9:24 pm Little wrinkles is a common sign of water or moisture damage on paper. I can't say for sure that is what we are looking at, it is just an observation. This webpage has a decent definition guide. http://www.banknotes.com/grading.htm There are no pictures for reference but I think it is pretty easy to follow Report this Post to the Staff
AZTAMT Valued Member Canada 263 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 10:01 pm I agree with the VF grade. I can see 4 folds. Bottom left and right corners, the horizontal and the vertical. Corners are rounded and soft. I think that the bill was lightly circulated, then put directly into a folder where it had some time to (relax) thus making it appear better then it really is.

NightSilver New Member Canada 33 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 10:06 pm The bill actually was in a holder for around 20 years. So it wasn't really round' the block much. Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 03/01/2013 07:34 am I also agree with a VF grade, if a note has folds and, some staining you really can't call it better than VF Report this Post to the Staff
