Never seen this one before. The number of grade (4).

Thanks Steve, I never would have seen it.

It's a ratty one for sure.

 

I am not sure why anyone would even consider a 4 grade, there,s nothing
good about it, about the only thing it would be good for is building a low
ball set...LOL

 

Even in that condition, a Battleship Deuce will command a premium of 50 to 100 times its face value.

 

Grade: "BTD"
Beat To Death

 

Poor thing. That note led a rough life. Never saw a 4 before. Thanks for posting.

 

In a word "UGLY"

 

Shame it's in such bad condition but neat that it's the battleship deuce. It looks like it went through WWI.

 

There is no reason at all, even to get it graded, you dont need to pay someone
to tell you its in bad condition, i can do it for free.....LOL

 

looks like something been well circulated then put in a can underground for the past 50 years

 

It looks to me like it was a “wallet piece”. A note folded twice and put in a wallet and taken out frequently to show people. Typical wallet pieces have the brownish stain from long periods in a leather wallet. Just me thinking out loud.

 

A problem free “4” grade is the lowest I will go when collecting coins, and there some coins I own in that grade that still have some eye appeal. For graded currency, however, my lower limit is 20. The OP’s note is a good illustration of why.

 

The word GOOD should never be associated with a note like this, it,s anything
but...LOL
