Description:

I,m throwing in a curve ball this week, in addition to the regular grade, this note also carries with it the burden of an apparent grade which is not a good thing usually means the note has rips, rust stains or some sort of reconstruction done
To the note, as for me i always avoid these types of notes just because the resale
is so bad ! first thing you will notice on this note is the 4 vertical hard folds and the
one faint horizontal one, there are many issues on the front that are some what distracting most having to do with the apparent grade so consider these as well
When making your choice.

 

Will we be given options for grade on this note or left to our own judgement? Those large denom notes are cool I've never seen one in person but I enjoy the post that have them just to see the details and designs.

 

Grading choices for week 9

F15
VF20
VF25
VF30
VF35

 

As always good Luck

When we give our grade do we need to elaborate as to why the note would have been given an apparent grade rather than a straight grade?

 

I'm torn on this one. (Glad the note isn't LOL) I'm going with VF35 very nice note that appears to have been starched or pressed to get rid of wrinkles although this is hard to tell from a picture, but it has the look of some notes I iron as kid after washing them by accident. I wasn't a collector but they looked like gambling dollars after going through the washing machine.

No, you don,t i simply made you aware that it did have an apparent grade attached
And that does affect the over all grade, if you look closely to the upper left you can
see the signs of the apparent designation.

 

A really tough note especially with the addition of the apparent grade

 

Well we did not have a winner this week, had some close guesses though
We will be starting the Money round as this is week 10 of the contest
Here is the note from week 9
