You will likely cost them a potential EPQ/PPQ rating if you were to have them graded, and might not improve their appearance much at all. All folds will still remain visible, and you will sacrifice what embossing there is left. It mostly makes sense when there is a bend to the note without an actual crease.</p><p><br /></p><p>It sometimes make sense to press bent notes - if you want to frame the note and don&#039;t plan on having it graded or sold. But the practice is frowned upon by collectors, because some people will press the notes to improve their appearance before selling them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you must press it, steam the note above a kettle until it starts curling up. This will loosen and stretch the fibers that were otherwise bent or damaged in the folds. Then place it between two white pieces of paper (so the ink from the book&#039;s pages does not smear onto the note) and place the paper and the note in a book. Stack some other heavy books on it, and leave it there for at least 48 hours.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
