I picked this note up several years ago at a show. I'm the first to admit to not being an expert on grading paper money. It was graded VG when I bought it. What does the forum think? Thanks. Gene
What should paper feel like? This one feels like a well worn bill. Like the kind that do not feed into vending machines.
That's definitely the feeling of a VG note. It will feel limp to the touch and as if it were balled up in a sweaty gym sock for a bit.
This note definitely feels like it had been balled up in a sweaty gym sock (not that I'm man-handling it that much). Thank you both for input.
Very good looking note..... I think that net VG is consistent to the stains (and paper feel as described), but mainly because of the trimmed left border..... I like the bright color and feel that if not for that border, it would grade Fine.
I like the note, and feel pretty lucky to have run across it at a show when I did. It was relatively inexpensive and the coin dealer I got it from really did not deal in paper money much and gave me a good deal.
It's a great note, no matter the condition. Incidentally, there's a related post regarding this note on another thread: http://www.cointalk.com/t94663-30/#post1205937
