<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 566441, member: 17665"]One writer is right about signatures having nothing to do with a grade but to footnote that, it might have everything to do with a notes value. Some signatures were from short term officials of the BEP and after they are replaced, new note with new signatures must be printed. Sometimes if they were really short term of time in office it's possible that note that were already printed but not distribted are pulled and destroyed making these notes very or extremely rare.</p><p> To add on the term foxing... it is a term used by anyone who deals in paper items including newsprint. Improper storage is the main culprit here. There is tannic acid in most all paper, among other things, that when exposed to say too much heat or moisture will cause the paper to harden, discolor and become brittle and eventuall break off or apart with improper handling. jmo.
