    But...a photo is necessary because you are asking for value. In order to give an estimate of the value, a grade for the note must be determined. That is why a photo is necessary. Posting a photo of a similar note for grading purposes is basically worthless. I do understand sometimes people are unable to post photos...but the bottom line is, without one your original question can't be answered.

    Also, I just watched your video...and with youtube videos you lose a lot of image quality. In my opinion, the note can't be graded accurately using the video.

    okay:

    Turn the note, start with the face up.


    Now flip it right ti left.


    Is it inverted?

    If so, you are correct, it is an invert.


    If so, very scarce item, values probably will be determined by auction.

    Definitely inverted, and from the video (as tough as it is to grade) appears to be a higher grade. Truly a nice find, and definitely worth getting graded!

    Fractional currency had a small/to no premium for rotation misprint I thought,>?

    Thanks, how much would a single submission cost thru PMG?

    Please describe the condition of your note in detail, such as:

    What condition would you think the note is in? Any major issues? Folds (light or heavy), creases, marks, etc? If you take the note in your fingers and lightly shake it by your ear, does it sound very crispy, slightly crispy, or no crisp at all? These would be indicators of the condition of the note.

    The link you provided is to a note that is in ChCu condition, thus worth more. Even if you have an inverted error note, the value is more dependent on the grade of the note. Let me know and I'd be more than happy to give you a ballpark figure.

    There are no folds, creases, pinholes, tears, discoloration, marks, etc. i would grade the note around 64. it is crisp and not limp and holds its "posture' when held upright. Hope that helps! Also in the previous posts its shown in a video i posted from youtube showing it.

    Sorry, I don't have youtube video capabilities while at work. I'll look through the resources this evening and give you a ballpark figure then.
