Condition:
For international buyers, please note that the new US postal rates for overseas shipping are very high and we are unable to change them. Additional charges will be incurred depending on the value of the item. Please check the cost of shipping before bidding. I would grade this banknote as a good extremely fine or better with all the details being very well preserved. The note is intact and clean with bright and vivid colors. It has a central fold and a few creases throughout. The corners are squared with minimum rounding and the edges are intact with minimum observable roughness. The note has no tears or splits, has no pinholes, no graffiti, and has no stains. The note retains quite a bit of its original stiffness, crispiness and sheen. A great example of this rather scarce note, which would make a nice addition to your collection. Please view the scan presented for additional condition information.
