<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 996493, member: 19065"]The $500 is tempting though that scan makes it seem a bit light. If it was a St. Louis note it would be a no brainer for me since I collect that district FRNs. Had it been several other districts a thousand would be a bargain, even more so if a star note, but Richmond is one of the more common ones and values close to $1k in (inflated) guide book prices. Also the paper seems wrinkly and distorted like it has been wet and dried out, not sure about that. </p><p><br /></p><p>So then it was down to the Edu and Chief notes. I would have gone with the Chief had there not been a heavy horizontal wrinkle across his face. The stains are unfortunate but I would have accepted it with those stains at this price since the stains don't interfere with the portrait although the paper tone is a bit off all over. So for me, based much on the $1k price and eye-appeal, it's the Educational note even with the heavy trifold and stain behind Youth's head and things that make the value hard to determine on a questioned grade, for me. The Educational note also gives us the greatest information having shown BOTH sides of the note to assess the purchase.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
