Condition:
For international buyers, please note that the new US postal rates for overseas shipping for first class shipments are generally very high and we are unable to change them. Additional charges will be incurred depending on the value of the item. So please check the shipping cost to your location before bidding. I would grade this banknote as a nice fine or better with all the details being still fairly well preserved. The note, which is fully original, shows honest wear and has vertical folds as well as a horizontal fold. The note has general wrinkling and roughness along the edges. It does have nicks at the ends of the folds but has no tears and no splits. The note has two very small pinholes in the center due to excessive folding. It has no graffiti, no pinholes beyond the ones mention above, no tears and no splits. Its colors are a bit faded and the creases are showing some whiteness of the paper. Be that as it may, the note is still nice and would make a good addition to your collection. Please see the scans for additional condition information.
