Looking at potenially having these officially graded if you the masses agree. Just to wet behind the ears in the game to judge for myself.

From what I can see (and it is very difficult to grade paper money from pics, much more so than coins), this has at least 4 vertical folds and one horizontal fold, which would likely put in the VF range. It would look better and probably sell faster someday in a TPG holder, but from a value standpoint it's kind of a push, imo.

with the class -- send it in. It's a fairly nice Fr. 253; might be VF with comments or NET. I don't see any holes or tears but don't have it in hand. Convince yourself and see if you can examine it under a high density LED light. This would reveal "hidden" issues. Good Luck and do let us know how it comes out if you decide to send it to a TPG.
