Must be the mustache
Get yourself a LED flashlite, and side-lite your currency. The embossing should really stand out from the back. It's also a good way to check for...
Feeling the front plate on the reverse is called embossing. It's something collectors look for on notes, especially seeing and feeling the serial...
The top 3 in my book are, (in alphabetical order) CGA, PCGS, and PMG. As far as which one to use.......thats a whole nother can of worms
I don't see anything that jumps out at me. The ink smudge on the back of the note is common, the color could possibly be from a day or two in...

Got my latest upgrade yesterday. The first note is one of the lowest graded to date, in an old style PMG holder, and the second note was obtained...
PM sent. Just about any $5 481 is a tough find.
I'm "on the fence"....on one hand, there's nothing special about them, but on the other hand, being issued in 1983, they are almost 20 years old...
WOO HOO !! Thanks for the grading challange Rusty....most generous of you. I have a friend (FRANK) , that teaches a class called The Young...
