    Cool find Vince. When I see notes this old, in such good condition, my first thought is that someone is spending their collection. There’s no way this note has been circulating since its printing.

    Nice looking note - a candidate for that side lighting?

    Sorry Steve, not sure what you mean by that. Although I been collecting/searching notes for quite some time, I still have a lot to learn.

    Thanks! :)

    When you shine a light sideways on the edge of the bill it will show where if or was folded/wrinkled. I can't remember what type of light to use though, maybe someone will chime in with the info

    Most collectors use a small flashlight known as a “torch”. Mine is a LED LENSER and I bought it 10 years ago at Home Depot. You can get them almost anywhere now.
