<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1073114, member: 19065&quot;]Depends on the collector and their budget. Those who want the finest will not buy it with marks like that, unless it&#039;s excessively rare, that is when most seem to compromise the quality level when -- scarcity means big-$$$ which affects their collecting budget.&nbsp; Each collector considering that note will have a dilemma weighing eye-appeal vs. value. The marks are right in the central area and are very obvious, even one over the portrait itself. I&#039;d say most collectors would pull value back 30-40% if they are putting a bid on that note. Those with less conditional concerns just looking to fill a hole may be less concerned with precise value but also willing to pay less due to tighter budgets, so the value could be the same to them, much lowered, just for slightly different reasoning. It really comes down to eye appeal and scarcity. Poor eye appeal and a common note will not get me to react as quickly as would a bargain price on a scarce note with problems. I know this isn&#039;t a scientific explanation and I&#039;m rambling on here but I hope it helps offer my perspective/thoughts on your questions.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Pick it up if you need it.
