    You guys have been doing a great job! :) The last one #3 i think was a
    Good challenge and i haven,t been able to stump anyone yet Krispy hit
    The first two and Steve in Tampa got the last one!

    This time however might be a different story as we get in to problem notes
    Or not this means possible "Apparent Grades" may be present in the over all
    Grade which you must identify in your answer so you must go over the note
    Carefully to identify possible problems missing corners rips or tears both
    External and internal, Here would be a sample answer and make sure to
    Include your PPQ or not designation!

    Sample: VF35 NO PPQ Apparent internal tear

    So there will basically be 3 elements to consider 1) Grade 2) PPQ designation
    and 3) Apparent possibility

    To help there our a few on e-bay which you can compare to make this
    Challenge a bit more agreeable!

    This challenge will end 3/11/11

    Good luck:devil:

    Please PM me your answer!

    Looks like a hefty challenge here... will get to work on it asap. The colors really pop on this note. Very dynamic! Something tells me that when I see lower grades and larger denominations in your collection they are likely rarer and probably harder to grade.

    I actually have a super nice Series 481 $5 in my collection, This denomination in this Series
    Only has 1 63 that should tell you something to the rarity of this note in high grades
    I think the in between grades our the hardest those that land between a EF and A/U
    Grades similar to what we had in the last challenge because it could be those little things
    That make or break the note!

    Just about any $5 481 is a tough find.

    Why is the guy on the front loafing instead of girding his loins to fight commies?

    Must be a liberal...

    The official name of the vignette is the "Mechanics".

    It also appears on the back of the $50.00 third charter national notes -- with one difference. At the risk of highjacking MPCUSA'a thread, I will send a prize to the first person who can tell us what the difference is in the two vignettes.

    The guy on the National Banknote is a Wobblie, while the one on the MPC is a draft dodger.
