[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2320209, member: 56859"]Hi all, While visiting my mom recently I came across this pristine CSA note. I'd already gathered and sold the rest of the old family currency but this was stored separately. I'm certainly no expert on grading currency, but this note is on utterly crisp paper and has no creases, folds or other signs of wear or cosmetic issues (as far as I can tell). The images are hasty cell phone pictures with poor lighting. I understand that it is not a high-dollar item, but from what I see there can be a significant jump in price for high grade notes on premium paper. Unless I'm missing something, this note should grade Gem unless the faded ink is an issue. The red ink is not as faded as the images suggest but it [I]is[/I] faded. My questions: With the goal of maximizing the sales price and therefore spendable money for my mom, can you recommend the best route for selling? Should I send it to Heritage? Consign it elsewhere? Have it graded (by which company?) and then sell privately and if so, which venue? Sell privately without grading? [ATTACH=full]468795[/ATTACH] In the holder with the bill was this note from my grandmother, indicating that it once belonged to my great great grandfather. Given his age, he probably acquired it when the currency was still in use. [ATTACH=full]468796[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
