<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1462596, member: 19065&quot;]In regards to the note you found being discussed on another forum...&nbsp; Believe it or not, before I even enlarged the images, I could tell, from&nbsp; the reverse, that this note had a classic trifold. I doubt most&nbsp; collectors of paper money would need to look any&nbsp; longer than a quick glance to catch it. Likewise, the evidence on&nbsp; the face around the portrait of a teller stamp that went beyond the&nbsp; strap that this note was once in, on the top of the stack, sticks out like a&nbsp; sore thumb. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;In the example note, upon enlarging the images I see several soft crescent shaped bends in&nbsp; the paper which count against the grade as well, most are in or near the&nbsp; margins and corner areas. This note has plenty of issues such that it&#039;s&nbsp; <i>a spender</i>, so I don&#039;t know why those other folks were so keen&nbsp; on keeping it, though there are plenty of people that seem quite pleased&nbsp; with common (not rare) circulated and problem notes in their&nbsp; collections.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;So, your KC note is not a rare one but if you like it, then by all means keep it. If&nbsp; it were mine and I wanted a note like this in my collection, then I&nbsp; would spend it towards buying a note without any folds, marks or bends&nbsp; of any kind as it wouldn&#039;t set me back that much nor be that hard to come by, given this series and&nbsp; district, to acquire such a problem free note.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;Once you gain some more familiarity with grading and what a problem free&nbsp; note looks like, the problems I quickly pointed out become very&nbsp; pronounced to the trained eye.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
