Any discoloration in the whites knocks down the value. Balance the note on an extended finger. Does it droop? That also knocks down the value. From your scan, as Krispy said, it is very evident that the note does not lay perfectly flat. There are light folds which cause the rippling at the bottom of the image. The corners are not razor sharp. They are bumped which also drops the value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen notes that people have taken out of their wallets and tried to tell me they were perfect even though they were creased, folded and even had little tears in them. </p><p><br /></p><p>*Do not try ironing the note to flatten it. Ironing notes will cause the fibers to flatten and you&#039;ll lose most of the value of the error. Also, do not try cleaning the note. You&#039;ll just ruin it.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have a nice error. Put it in a proper holder, get it graded (if you want) and be happy with it. Even if it grades Fine or whatever, it&#039;s still worth multiples of face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a lot of error notes that I&#039;ve found in circulation and though I wish they were all top grades, I&#039;m thrilled that I have what I have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Congratulations on your find.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
