<p>[QUOTE="Numbers, post: 2828259, member: 11668"]Remember that the large-size notes were printed on damp paper (to keep the paper from tearing under the pressure of the intaglio plates) and then dried before the sheets were cut into single notes. So there are plenty of CU notes that show this kind of paper wave. Some collectors like it because it's a sign of originality; other collectors prefer notes that look flat like modern currency--though for large-size notes, flatness often indicates that the note has been washed and pressed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
