<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blasty, post: 4558482, member: 38375&quot;]Thanks for the input, everyone.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am going to leave it alone. I felt a bit silly after asking - and it would really take some guts to actually do anything to it - but wasn&#039;t quite sure where we draw the line on &quot;improving&quot; worn notes. Thought it would be interesting to get some perspective.</p><p><br /></p><p>I probably wouldn&#039;t think of it except that it bugs me once in a while to be reminded that I probably got ripped off, but otherwise I really like the note for what it is and am not looking to ever sell it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is stored safely in my currency album that I&#039;ve been casually filling over the years. I just took it out for the picture before returning it.</p><p><br /></p><p>To answer about the cost, I think I paid $80 at a coin shop in 1999. That was a lot of saved allowances and mowed lawns at the time and my entire coin/currency fund when I made the purchase. To date it is the most I&#039;ve ever paid for a note in my collection, not counting a spanking new 10,000 Yen note that I saved from an ATM on a recent work trip to Japan. Looking at Ebay recently, I see notes like mine going for a bit less to about what I paid 21 years later... live and learn I guess![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
