I don't collect bank notes wish I could help. Have these notes been de monetized?
I would have to go with wat ever Morgan dude says. In the past we have seen many coins that when sealed it heats up the insert and sometimes it...

AU53 I like it!

Cool find Larry, I agree with :rolleyes: I don't see any damage, just circulation and some nice laminations.
