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. Please check the cost of shipping before bidding. I would grade this banknote as a good very fine or better with all the details being well preserved. The note has several light folds and light wrinkling, it has general soiling and some light staining mostly along the edges. The note also has minimum roughness along the edges but has no nicks, tears, or splits. The note has no splits, no graffiti, and no pinholes. The corners are intact, mostly squared with minimum rounding but with some creases. The note still retains some of its stiffness and its colors are vivid and not faded. This is a very nice example of this rather scarce note, which would make a nice addition to your collection. Please view the scan presented for additional condition information.
