In evaluating the above $2 note, I thought I would start by making some comparisons to similar notes, I am on my I-phone so I apologize for the small images, they are from the bay...LOL, tried submitting them from my phone but will have to wait until I can down load them at home have some real good comparisons to share.
Here,s one for comparison, though it,s not really close to the original posting 65,s tend to be way out of alignment.
Next up is a 66, better then a 65 but not by much, you still see the note Leaning to one side just not as much.
Here,s a 67 looks really close to the original $2 bill posted, with just a a tad lean to the right, though its $5 still very similar margins.
The 67 and 68 dictate front margins, will finish post when i have more time Getting late in my time zone.....LOL
Well, thanks for giving me the opportunity to finish my post, was going to show some more examples before making my estimate on grade, but not sure if the person doing the grading had the right prescription on or not ? but a 69 is very generous as the margin is not square in front in comparison to the one i posted, but since grading is a very subjective i guess you can call it what you want...LOL
I have collected paper for quite a few years. My main objective is not necessarily to "grade" them. Each month I draw $1,000 in $20 bills from my account. I use it to buy groceries and other items that is more convenient to pay in cash. When I get the money, I, first, count the bills to make sure that I have 50. The next step is to put them in sequential order. Recently, I found 16 bills in sequential order. I have done this for many years and I place them in, for lack of the proper terminology, "bill holders". I put them in a safe until I have the opportunity to deposit them in my safe deposit box. I found that when you get sequential ordered bills, they have just been put in circulation. I have only one question about the $1,000 bill. Was it checked for "pin" holes? I wonder what it would be worth if it had the "pin" holes that Brett and Bart Maverick put in their $1,000 bills for emergencies, i.e., poker.
Allot less, many MPC,s have pin holes or staple marks on/in them as this was the way to attach things back in the day, but if the marks are some what hidden not with in the main features you might get away with it, but there always going to be less desirable.
