I didn't, I just said that the top of the bill got "all smashed up". Like someone stuffed it into a wallet roughly. It looks a little better now that it's in a banknote holder though.
Maybe you got confused when the bill appeared to be see-through? It's because there's a table lamp behind the bill and I didn't notice that you can see through the bill until I uploaded the pics.
Edit:
Brought the bill to my LCS (= local coin seller, right?) and asked how much he thinks this this is worth, he said that it can make an Uncirculated grade and would fetch $130. I pointed out the folds but he said they were minor and didn't count. I don't think it's uncirculated, perhaps it's his lighting or something that makes it look better?
And here's the conversation that follows:
"How much did you get this for?"
"One dollar."
"Are you kidding me? Where did you get it,
ebay?"
"Someone sold me $1 bills for face." (I hope that doesn't count as lying because I don't like lying, but I don't want to say I got it from a bank either because then I'll have a competitor)
And pretty much everyone in there were surprised.
And I bought a rigid bill holder, here it is, in its new home:
Old bills are BIG. That's in a George VI bill size holder.
I asked whether it's worth to get this graded too, he said not now unless I want to sell it. I guess it'll stay like this raw with me
