[QUOTE="MorganDollarGuy, post: 8171692, member: 91552"]I bought this 1907 Gold Certificate in a coin show. It looks really nice with the sleeve on. When I got home, I took this note out of the sleeve. I feel the paper is quite thin and flat. I do not feel much embossing on the front, but I feel some on the back. I do not see any sign of repair. Is it normal that paper money at that time are on thinner paper when comparing to small size notes? For the flatness that I feel, is it due to a lot of pressing? If one day I send this note to grading companies like PMG, will the slab mention the note as pressed or somehow processed? Will this get a NET grade? Or will it simply not have a EPQ? Based on the photos, does this look like an XF note?
