Condition:
For international buyers, please note that on January 20, 2018 the new US postal rates for overseas shipping went into effect for first class shipments, which we are unable to change. Additional charges will be incurred depending on the value of the item. I would grade this note as choice very fine or much better. The note is lightly soiled, especially on the back, but is all original with minimum wear. It has at least two vertical central folds and a few bumps and creases especially at the corners. It retains quite a bit of its original stiffness and crispiness. The note is well printed and nicely margined. It has a couple of minor light stains. The note has no pinholes, no graffiti, and no tears or splits. The edges are intact and show no appreciable roughness. A great looking rare note to add to your collection. Please view the scan presented for additional condition information.
