silverbob Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted 02/08/2016 7:06 pm Posted this in another thread, and got some very helpful info. I was directed here for additional grading and aprox value. Thanks for any help you can give. The bill is in overall beautiful condition. Crisp and textured like the day it was issued. Free of creases and nice sharp corners. Small dimpling to the left which shows better in the photo than it does in hand. Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 02/08/2016 9:39 pm Those "dimpling" you see are handling marks. In fact the entire left side looks quite creased up. All four corners have bumps too. It's no longer UNC - a banknote easily goes down to EF from poor handling and storage. Most of the time it hasn't been in actual circulation. There is little difference between UNC to EF in a banknote (unlike in coins where the wear is more apparent). Still, it's an attractive one. I have one just like it but with a Beattie-Coyne signature. Report this Post to the Staff
colonialtokens Pillar of the Community United States 840 Posts	Posted 02/08/2016 10:06 pm Grading companies are very stringent on grading paper. They will also down-grade for the centering of the photo. The left margin is noticeably wider than the right margin. VF 30 doug Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 12:28 am Do they still downgrade for a circulated note? I thought it only kept them from getting gem grades. Report this Post to the Staff

john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 11:41 am Too many marks, definitely not an unc, poor centering also. Report this Post to the Staff
silverbob Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 8:26 pm I'm considering sending this off to be graded with a few others. In your opinion is this one I should include in the bunch? My general thought process is to keep the better or higher end items. And trade off or sell the others to cushion the blow so to speak for other interests. Report this Post to the Staff
tripoli Pillar of the Community Canada 867 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 02:59 am I wouldn't grade it. These are not rare, and any collector can get a UNC+ for a reasonable amount. PMG grading is going to cost you $50+ which is probably the value of the note before grading. Report this Post to the Staff
