<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave M, post: 1568696, member: 17469&quot;]I have a reasonably expensive french note (below) for which only three copies are known to exist staple pinholes. When this note came available for purchase, it was listed as &quot;w/o ph&quot;, which I found very hard to believe. The seller wasn&#039;t aware of the scarcity of the note with no holes, and I made the assumption when I bought it, that there were holes, just hard to see. Sure enough, it does, and they were repaired to the point of almost being invisible.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my case, I&#039;m quite happy with this purchase, as it wasn&#039;t a surprise to me, and the repair is done very well. I normally would not have bought the note, except that a true &quot;w/o ph&quot; might never have come on the market.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a buyer, I&#039;d look at yours the same way. Is it something I could eventually find a better copy of, or is an expertly repaired version the best I can expect?</p><p><br /></p><p>Dave</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://www.frenchbanknotes.com/france/images/f-060-8-a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
