[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 3740090, member: 73489"][B][SIZE=5][COLOR=#b30000]OK, my comments:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] (1) First, thanks to all for the guesses and comments. I know I learned a few things. (2) When I won this bill, I myself thought it LOOKED ALOT BETTER than a PMG 45....but I figured I was just missing something. Clearly, some of you think it looks better also. :D (3) I can easily detect the low-60's usually because they suffer from lousy margins/off-centering. This bill doesn't seem to have any MAJOR imperfections that drop it down 15-20 numbers from mint grading. I can't see folds or creases or tears. (4) If there are some paper bends or other blemishes, they must be only visible at some weird portion of the light spectrum at some particular angle. Because I can't see it. [I]Can any of you now that you know the grade ? [/I] [B][U]Net-net....I thought this bill, at first glance, could be a PMG 65....but clearly, there must be something wrong for it to be 20 numbers lower. I just can't see it and apparently neither can some of you. These are high-res photos so it's not like the pics are hiding something behind poor photography. Maybe something shows up if you hold it up to a certain light at a certain angle ? I dunno....I'm admittedly grasping at straws.:D You'd think grading bills would be EASIER than coins (bigger, easier to see imperfections).:D[/U][/B][/QUOTE]
