    Attached are pictures of a 1934 silver certificate that I have. The note is still crisp but it have obviously been in circulation. Any grades or comments are welcomed.

    Looks VF+ to XF. I am guessing the extreme orange-yellow look is due to your lack of skills in taking pics.

    bzcollektor, thank you for taking a look and your opinion on the grade.
    Yes you're right I do have to work on my picture taking skills. :)

    I dunno.... I kind of like the sepia wash look. Maybe you should put it up on Ebay as a special "colorized" $10 SC...very rare and collectible!

    You might reel some one in with that story. ;)

    If you need help with tea dying the notes, just holler. I used to do that for school plays way back when.

    :D

    I agree with BZ..the vertical and horizontal folds put it into that spectrum.
    Nice note Lou...thank you for sharing that!
    For the discoloration...simply adjust your white balance to incandelescant lighting and you will be golden..no pun intended!


    Hope you do not mind, but I took the liberty to adjust the white balance for you...here it is...

    Niel, thank you for your generous offer to help me tea die notes, but frankly that's not my cup of tea. :)

    Lou...no problem...

    I left out the VF and just put XF..my boo boo!!

    It is a VF to low grade XF as BZ and Daggar have pointed out.

    Thanks guys. I'm was thinking VF for the note, but when it comes to notes my grading skills are like my photography. It needs work. :)

    Nice note - does the A in the serial number intersect with the C in America? That might add a slight premium.

    With the three folds, I would probably grade this XF as well, because overall it appears crisp, with nice margins and no tears or ink or other distractions. I liiiiiike :goofer:

    Good eye but more common in older notes. Still it could add a slight premium.

    Folds are too heavy for me to go XF. I say VF.
