<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 1674209, member: 24754&quot;]Hello All,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been working on a $1 US currency type collection for a while. When it comes to some of the older note varieties, I&#039;ve noticed that a good majority of the notes have black tick marks on the top or bottom center of the face. I do not particularly like the look of currency with the ticks, so I typically try to avoid them. I buy all graded notes, and as far as I can tell the presence of the tick does not seem to affect grading. I&#039;m assuming that these marks probably have something to do with ensuring proper alignment of the paper during printing, however, I was hoping that you guys could provide a more definitive explanation. Also, is the presence of these marks considered at all by paper graders? And do any of you (or collectors in general) have an aversion to these marks? Do you consider their presence when purchasing a note? I&#039;ve provided an example of what I am talking about below. Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]249420.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
