Hello friends,

Need your help grading this piece. I looked at the charlton guide for grading and it seems to be up there but just want to double check here.

Thanks all :)

Its hard grading from Pictures, but I see at least 3 folds. There could be as many as 5. Based on what I see I would say VF35.

The note may also have been pressed/washed which would take away the EPQ/PPQ. It looks too bright to not have been pressed at one point.

Visually its a pretty note.

Appears to have been cleaned and pressed
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Like I said without the note in front of you its hard to be 100% certain, but several tales. Note did circulate based on the folds. Its very very white, no soiling which doesn't match the 3-5 folds.

Also notes that are washed pressed have this artificial white look. In reality it could also be a super clean note, but the folds make me sceptical.

The below was washed and pressed, but I was unable to tell until I got in my hands. It was listed as AU, but is XF45 at the best.

oh wow, very hard to tell by the naked eye. I do see your reasoning about the folds. I was hoping I just got a nice clean original note, I guess not lol

I do appreciate the time friend.
