Picked this one up at a pawn shop. Debating on whether to send it in or not. Payed $201. Is it CU, or is it just an old, ironed AU?
It looks genuine but the condition is not that good. I wouldn't send it in as it will grade low. The bill has these problems: Stains and the edge of the bill is missing in several places. Welcome to CT.
I know it's hard by the pics, but the stains are from the signatures leaking on the thin paper. Would that affect the value, I guess since they didn't have pens back then staining was common.
Dont waste your money on TPG of this note, by the pics i can already See only XF at the very best, PMG does have guidelines posted on there Website and you can compare those to you note probably the best way To do it, that way you can make an informed decision.
The staining is not from the signatures. There are several light brown stains. I have numerous CSA notes and none of them have bleed through.
