<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1415799, member: 19065"]For your benefit, your note has been used in this image to demonstrate the obvious signs that this note does not lay flat, the arrows indicate where shadows may be seen along the bottom edge of the note. Until you scan the note to show all margins we only have two sides to go by, but even that is enough to inform you that this is not what collectors consider laying flat. The wear along this rippled edge is significant. It looks as if the surface has been rubbed or scrubbed harshly, which when considering if the note may be faked, concerns those who are cautious in their assessment of such error notes. It is also the kind of wear that significantly reduces the grade. Compared to Gem ChCU notes on down the scale for quite a few lower grades, this note is well worn and this will impact the supposed collector value of this note were it to be resold. That rippled edge and the shadows detectible in your scan are quite common characteristics of worn notes which are anything but crisp. The rippled edge may even be diminished in this image file as the scanner lid is depressing its weight onto the note, with a flattening effect. Regardless, the tell tale signs are there in a collectors discerning eye.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]171984.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
