I guess it's conceivable that these are disappearing, but so too are all other notes and we can't save them all let alone all the ones that bear equal amounts of clearly circulated wear.

This note will always retain its problems but the same note might be better spent acquiring a GEM note, now while the prices are low, rather than being tucked away because of some superfluous concept about it's 'history' of which old is relative and historic scant at best, neither of which impart added value to this particular Series or individual note. The time spent sifting through circulated notes for supposed "keepers" from circulation, such as this example is quite a bit of effort and time spent when one can easily pick these up in actual problem free UNC Gem condition.
