    nice legal tendor note :) not in that bad of shape, but the 1.00 writing will drag the grade down some. The super heavy fold line down the center will as well. I might put it in the good/very good range.

    Not having my books with me to verify $$$ I would say 5-7$

    There are alot of Gems around and evne Gem stars...they go for around $80-$95.
    I also would say condition is Good..not to sure about very good.
    Poor pics, sorry to say..but better images or scan would help.

    i only went with a grade as high as very good because the overall note is decent with no rips or tears. The edges all look clean with nor breaks - except for maybe the bottom center. The heavy fold and the pen mark is the biggest drawback. i too was leaning towards good .. maybe a good PLUS is a better description :D

    I did say in an earlier post ("Good 4" at best) that put's it value at $4-$5

    Too much wear and hard paper breaks on this note...the writting in ink does not help it either...

    There are plenty of these around and in Gem Condition as well.

    I would spend it....but that is just me!

    I won't be spending this note, it's my only red seal.

    Thanks! That $2 is very tempting, but I think I'll pass. I spent $40 on a couple of coins a few days ago.
