This is FR-613 in VG, possibly Fine, condition. Assuming no splits, value would be around $80-125 if you wanted to buy one.

Cool note. I really enjoy the vignettes on the back and it's fun to see someone besides Jackson on the front.

Isn't Fr. 613 a series 1902 $10 National Bank Note? I'd grade it bit higher than VG as well. To me it's probably VF with a value in the $80-100 range. For comparison, here's a similar note, again not TPG graded, but graded by Heritage as VF that they sold in Nov 2015 for $81.   Edited by BadDog

Welcome to CCF.
The backs of all the all the series 1914 notes have wonderful vignettes. I would recommend finding an example that has fewer distractions. By the heavy fold lines, I'd be willing to bet this note was folded twice, and tucked into a wallet as emergency money.

Thanks everyone for weighing in, I really appreciate your insights! I am listing this bill for sale on ebay this sunday at 9pm EST. I hope that last sentence isn't against listing policy. |

I'm sorry, I don't see any way this note could grade VF. Holdered common VF notes never have distracting dirty folds like the reverse of this note. I think this would holder at a high VG at best because of this.

I cannot see how Heritage grades that as a VF...they did note the staining. Per Friedberg VF "It still retains some crispness..."...Friedberg Fine"...creases are more pronounced, although the note is still not seriously soiled or stained." Fried berg VG "...may be limp, soiled or dark in appearance and even have a tear or two on an edge." That is not a VF note. There was no need to say staining, that is part of the grading and should have reflected a lower grade.

Correcto PMG does the grading...thanks for the snippet of PMG grading standards. I guess Friedberg is a little more conservative than PMG, not allowing soiling into the VF level. Additionally I would classify the staining/soiling as being more than minor for the note above.

Without seeing the volume of notes that PMG sees, I don't think I could probably say what is VF30 light soiling vs. VF25 more than light soiling but less than mild soiling vs VF20 mild soiling. That's why I stay away from notes like this  |
