Hi Mirrorcube1

The better the photo the easier it will be for people to give their opinions. It's important to orientate and crop photos before posting, as well as showing both sides.

A dealer has a similar note for sale in EF condition online for $9500 but if yours
is aUNC /UNC it could be worth multiples of that amount.What you would sell it for
is another matter though

Impossible to tell by the pic. The note could be pressed,cleaned white,multiple folds+bends,pvc storage damage,pinholes,limp paper,rust,minor restorations.Etc. Best bet would be to send it to PMG-PCGS Currency. Other than that learn how to grade Australian predecimal banknotes..

Yeah,you left out Star added post mint,plenty of 'people' had a go at it in the 1960/70's and probably recently as well.
I agree to get it graded for sure.

OK,just saying they are out there and buyers have to be careful(stating the obvious).
I have held two manipulated 'Star' Notes in my hand,they were altered in the 1960's when the pre-Dec. buying frenzy was on.
I would imagine the current day smarties would be far more sophisticated than back then particulary now they have ebay to prey upon.

Hi.

I can't grade banknotes, but I know how rare that star note is.

Would you please try to post a hi-res photo, I'm really curious...
