<p>[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4557072, member: 10461"]I'm not a paper money person, but I'll make a coin comparison. Sometimes someone cleans an old low grade coin and it just ends up looking wrong for what it is. Unnatural, like. I dunno if that is the case with paper money or not, or whether or not you can do anything with that. </p><p><br /></p><p>But for what it's worth, that looks to me like I would expect an old circulated note of its era to look like. Low grade, yeah, but otherwise not objectionable to my eyes. You said "ratty" and I expected ragged edges or old yellowed tape or such. Sure, this one has creases and did its job in commerce, but I don't fault it for that. It has character, the same way an old G-VG Indian cent or Barber coin would.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'd leave it alone. But I'm a coin guy and not a paper guy, so take my advice with the proverbial grain of salt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
