I wonder when they're going to redesign the 1 dinar note. They're fairly sophisticated notes with the segmented security foil, fluorescent fibers,...
I've never seen a "graded" note pack before: http://goo.gl/oFVLP It isn't graded -- It is encapsulated by PMG.
I believe the Collector Safe hard "plastic" holders are made from Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) which is fine for archival storage.
Shyster has many commonly used alternate spellings, including shuyster, schister, scheister, sheister, schyster, shister, shiester, and schiester....
The doctoring is more prevalent in that note. [IMG] I'd love to see a high resolution (1200+ DPI) scan of the doctored note to see how it was...

I have a significant collection of 1976 $2.00 FRNs First Day of Issue with a stamp, and, without a doubt, your note is a rarity!
