James4444 Valued Member United Arab Emirates 242 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 4:33 pm HI, I'm specializing in Rare Banknotes pre-1960's from certain countries (Egypt, Greece, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Yugoslavia & Silver Certificates) which depict Mythical Gods, Factitious Characters, Statues or Sculptures. At the time being, I'm doing a research on the depicted allegoricals & what they represent. I even collect "old" pages taken out from old books/magazines/newspaper which illustrate such allegoricals for demonstration & comparison purposes. I was wondering if someone could grade this note for me & advice if it worth such a price? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...170675489772 Much appreciate your feedback. Cheers Report this Post to the Staff

My 11th edition has the prices as follows Good=$50 Fine=$175 XF=$1000 As for my grade.....Without having it in hand, I would say it is between G and F because there is no way to tell if there are any pin holes. There are 3 veritcal folds and 1 horizontal that I can see. Report this Post to the Staff

James4444 Valued Member United Arab Emirates 242 Posts	Posted 08/10/2011 07:47 am Thanks onejinx, Actually I was confused because the seller grades it GVF! Some references say GVF is VF+ & some say it's EF! In any case, would you grade it VF? Considering the note with NO pinholes ...

onejinx Pillar of the Community United States 1231 Posts	Posted 08/10/2011 7:21 pm Well let's discuss grades of notes..... Poor Fair Good Very good Fine Very fine Extremely Fine AU UNC For the note to be VF the note would still have to be somewhat crisp still and not all floppy. That being said, the highest I would grade it is Fine. If it is a very rare note that doesn't come onto the market that often, you will see the note go higher then book value. I don't know the series to know how rare it is. I wouldn't have paid that much for it. Edited by onejinx 08/10/2011 7:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
