hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 05/22/2020 2:45 pm Hi all, I have 2 of the $10 North Africa Notes. I didn't need this one but the price was great so I didn't say no. But I need a little help on grading this note. I'm really on the fence as to what a grade should be. As far as I know there isn't a photo grade for currency and what I see graded is all over the place. I've seen notes in this condition graded from F15 to VF25. Some notes: Paper is still crisp. The note has no pinholes (looking at a bright light source). The note has 1 major fold horizontal. So what would grade this note at: My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/22/2020 3:57 pm Almost impossible to grade most notes EF-40 and higher from pictures - the subtleties of handling are often difficult to catch on a camera, much less a scanner. Try the PMG website for verbal guidelines. Report this Post to the Staff
SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 05/22/2020 5:00 pm I see it at Fine 15 and maybe even Fine 12. I have a trio of notes I keep in my wallet to show civilians (non-collectors) that I picked up cheap just for this reason. How much worse could they get ? Report this Post to the Staff

Nice "pocket piece" trio! They seem to have held up well.

suipakpaikungfu Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 05/23/2020 5:19 pm I'd also say F range, the heavy creases are going to make it hard to get to VF. Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 05/23/2020 5:20 pm Thanks all for the grading. It's still a keeper. It's not often that a low cost North Africa gets dropped on your lap. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff
