It's a straight grade with no comments but not EPQ either. It's been pressed but overall looks decent and the pinholes in the picture are the only ones. Are these pinholes consistent with that grade? I suppose if a 63 can have two pinholes then a VF35 can too. I'm just not sure if the ones on this note are considered large or small. </p><p>I don't want to get burned by buying certified notes only to find out that they aren't worth as much because of pinholes or other problems that weren't visible when I bought them.
