I was given this note and find them fascinating and am hoping you can help me with grading. Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

You can see that the lower left corner is creased slightly. You can see the same crease in the upper right corner of the reverse picture. Report this Post to the Staff

Master Shake Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 12/02/2013 01:52 am I'd guess you'd get a XF40. I've seen plenty of similar notes get just that grade. It's a tough call because its a bit of a tweener because of the discoloration around the folds and general lack of eye-appeal, especially on the reverse side of the note. Because of this, a VF35 grade wouldn't be ridiculous. But the golden rule of 3 folds is XF exists for a reason and there isn't anything so egregious about this note to knock it to a VF35, IMO. Fortunately, due to the current valuation of these notes, there isn't much of a difference in value between these 2 grades. Report this Post to the Staff
