The condition of a note is critical to its value and enjoyment as a collector. A perfectly preserved note, never mishandled by the issuing authority, a bank teller, the public or a collector. The paper should be clean and firm, without discoloration.
Corners are sharp and square, without any evidance of rounding.
The note should also have it's natural sheen. May show evidance of bank counting folds at a corner or one light fold through the center, but not both. Peper is clean and bright with the original sheen. Corners are not rounded. Very attractive note, with light handling.
