What I can tell by your pictures, I would say it looks UNC. to me.  Nice Devils Face.  Worth at least $1000.00 |

Nice clean note, great eye appeal, don't think it would quite make Au. From MTM ? What did they grade it at ?

Curious. I understand how the cut affects the overall grade
period, but how could the cut on an unc. note drop it to below
unc. ? Unless that note has been folded somewhere or has holes in it etc. I cannot see anything in the pics. that would
show this note as anything but unc.

Having looked at it downloaded and blown up, and 4 power loop, there is something that has gone on with the upper right hand corner of the obverse, and I can see the same thing from the land scape side also. It is most prevelant by the number 100, especially the last 0. It almost looks like the bill had become wet at some time or something like that. Can you give an explanation for these? Beautiful bill.  |

It is quite hard to tell an AU note from an UNC note by picture alone. Can you feel the serial numbers when you lightly run your fingers across them? are there any light folds that have been pressed out? A pressed note will note grade UNC.
Concerning it being offcentered...an UNC note may be off centered, but the centering is part of what determines whether its UNC60,63 or 64.

Looks like there is a tear in the top left corner. The note still has the original wave's in the paper, that 1954 notes should have. However, based on the picture it looks like there are a few slight folds, and the some of the corners are rounded. I would grade this note an EF+

I guess I'll have to come to it and buy new glasses...if you people can see a tear and rounded corners I'll have to have an exam right away..  |

Yes, I noticed the upper right corner of the face side, muted corner and minor creases?, crease or flick above 'cent' upper right, also lower left by 'on demand' - crease, and muted corner lower left.
