Message:: [QUOTE="Notaphylic_C, post: 26061380, member: 130786"]That's a nice $2.00 but I would grade it as AU due to handling.  I tried to zoom in on the top border & at the notes edges (centre).  The paper cut on an UNC note has a razor sharp, uninterrupted edge whereas your note shows disruptions. You can see this tiny (very minor) indent on [USER=87624]@Jersey magic man[/USER] 's example (the horizontal fold, he mentions). Yours appear to have a few more but they're less noticeable. You can see the disruptions to the edge on the same area on the back of the note. The bottom border is in better shape (explained next). That's likely b/c they were "soft folds." It appears to have been stored in a wallet. Certifiers call these "soft folds" since they were caused by wallet use (folded carefully with other notes & wallets protect the bottom edges somewhat). There's one additional "tell" that your note has met minor circulation. Zoom in on the bottom border below the "T" of "TWO" and you will see a minor stain: could be crayon, dried blood or food. Very nice note but I'm pretty sure if you were to submit it, it would come back AU58 (IMO).[/QUOTE]
