Grade: Ch. AU
A whale of a $5 Educational that looks better than many UNC notes. The color, paper quality and centering make this more desirable than worse appearing notes slabbed 64, 65 and 66. It has two lines near the center that are virtually undetectable on the face. This note faces up so well it is hard to keep preaching its virtues. This note is as pretty as it can be, but probably would not grade better than 50 or 55 because of the systems used to grade by current independent graders. The fact is, this note is worth more than 90% of the $5 Educationals graded 64 and 65 because the "look" is better. In my opinion, paper is about the look. I thought this one had the look of a 67 until I saw the two folds near the center on the back. A lot better to me than 63 value.
